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? Tas. Peter Nixon wrote:

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 | +----------+--------------+---------------------+---------------------+--- --------------+-----------------+------------------+
| sony | 10.0.0.10 | 2007-01-15 22:33:12 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | 41 | 718 | 164 |
+----------+--------------+---------------------+---------------------+--- --------------+-----------------+------------------+
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....
