Why dont you have the "seession-idel" attribute set, so that when no bytes are transfered for a certain period of time the connection is terminated?

Hi list ,
I have set up a wlan using : freeradius-1.1.4 (peap-eap/mschapv2-authentication), AccessPoint-3Com7250 and windows xp wireless users. My AP has the option for accounting and i have set it on. I logged the accounting info in the radius database in the radacct table to be more specific. When a wireless user connected to the wlan i am executing the following sql query:
select UserName , NASIPAddress , AcctStartTime , AcctStopTime , AcctSessionTime , AcctInputOctets , AcctOutputOctets from radacct ;
and the output is :
+----------+--------------+---------------------+---------------------+---
--------------+-----------------+------------------+
| UserName | NASIPAddress | AcctStartTime | AcctStopTime |
AcctSessionTime | AcctInputOctets | AcctOutputOctets | +----------+--------------+---------------------+---------------------+---
--------------+-----------------+------------------+

After If the user select from his wireless card software to disconnect from the specific wlan and make the same query to the database i can see that the AcctStopTime have a specific value and accounting for this user has stopped. However if the user does not use his/her wireless software to disconnect from the wlan and tun-off the wlan switcher of his/her card the accounting is continued (AcctSessionTime is counting) on freeradius but the AcctInputOctets and AcctOutputOctets stop counting. Why is that happening ? How should i know when the user is connected in the wlan and the user was just turned-off his/her switch of wlan ?
If your NAS does not tell radius that the user has disconnected RADIUS will not know....

Hi Tas, Peter , James and thanks for your reply , I noticed that when the wireless user turned-off his wireless card the AP stores him/her Mac-Address for 10 minutes in a table (station table) and then dropped the Mac-Address. However freeradius continued to do accounting for this user over 2 hours. I read about the Idle - Timeout attribute but i don't know how to set it on. I authenticate my users from the local file users. Do you think my AP doesn't say nothing to freeradius after the mac-address drop? There is nothing in the AP web-configuration which could set it on and solve the problem. If the problem is the nas there is not a solution ? Thanks a lot for your time.... ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!
