Hi Folks, trying to run version 1.0.4 on Debian sarge.. export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libperl.so.5.8; freeradius -X (to account for known debian weirdness) using rlm_perl like so... sub authorize { $RAD_REPLY{'Max-Total-Octets'} = "xxx6000000"; &log_request_attributes; &log_reply_attributes; &log_check_attributes; return RLM_MODULE_UPDATED; } and getting the following error on STDOUT... rlm_perl: ERROR: Failed to create pair Max-Total-Octets = 6000000 googled around, but can't see anything? other attribs in sql radgroupcheck table are working fine (also using rlm_sql). I took a look at the source code, but I'm not really a coder, and couldn't follow it too easily. However, all I can see is that the following is failing in rlm_perl.c vpp = pairmake(key, val, T_OP_EQ); if (vpp != NULL) { pairadd(vp, vpp); radlog(L_DBG, "rlm_perl: Added pair %s = %s", key, val); return 1; } else { radlog(L_DBG, "rlm_perl: ERROR: Failed to create pair %s = % s", key, val); } can anyone point me in the right direction? just going to try version 1.0.5 in the meantime :) -Thanks Max.
