We are working on re-setting up our hotspot (coovachilli/freeradius accounting in sql/ldap authentication) better and are trying to setup bandwidth limiting and such. What we seem to be having problems with is how to pull the data out of the sqlcounter module to compare the data used to the data limit. Such as: if ( amount_user_has_used >= limit_allowed) { do stuff to block them or whatever } We are trying to understand how the counter-name (Max-Usage-Allowed), check-name (Check-Max-Usage), and reply-name (Reply-Max-Usage) in the counter (UsageCounter) are accessed and evaluated to do the comparison. When we put if (<counter-name> >= blah) in, the function appears to be called and run, but this does not give us a valid comparison. Freeradius debug shows that the counter sql query is running and producing a numerical output, but obviously this is not the correct way to call it to get the comparison we want. We have tried such things as <counter-name>:<check-name> and such but just get errors and the counter query never runs. Any insight? We have searched all over and have not been able to get this working yet. Thanks. Mark II -- Mark D. Montgomery II http://www.techiem2.net
