Hi,
I'm using the latest freeradius2.2.0 built from source.
I have one simple question about "Useful values" that are given in documentation of freeradius proxy.conf file. Especially ones considering alive/zombie/dead times.
I was trying to set up server to have 1 second revive_interval
Why? That is the same as *never* marking it dead.
but to my surprise it was always 60 secs. Then I checked the source code and in realms.c file I've found:
if (home->revive_interval < 60) home->revive_interval = 60; if (home->revive_interval > 3600) home->revive_interval = 3600;
So the "Useful values" aren't really useful but mandatory values.
Yes.
Is it possible these restrictions would be removed? It would allow the user to set revive_interval (or any other variable value) to 1 sec if he chooses, without the need to build from edited source every time new version of freeradius is released.
I would ask why you need this change. The goal of the default configuration is to ensure that the RADIUS system as a whole is stable. Sure, you can butcher it to cause the server to do all kinds of crazy things. But that usually will destroy *other* RADIUS servers. Alan DeKok.
