Hi, I installed 3.0.11 from source and it works fine, but the radwtmp file does not exist and I'm not sure why. * the unix module is uncommented in the accounting section of the default virtual server * the debug output shows that the module is being loaded when the server starts: # Loading module "unix" from file /usr/local/freeradius/etc/raddb/mods-enabled/unix unix { radwtmp = "/usr/local/freeradius/var/log/radius/radwtmp" } But: root@stand-2-rpi:/usr/local/freeradius/etc/raddb# radlast last: /usr/local/freeradius/var/log/radius/radwtmp: No such file or directory It's not critical or urgent, but just wondering why this file isn't being created. -- --- Michael Martinez http://www.michael--martinez.com

Is the server receiving accounting packets? The server doesn't just invent the file, or the files contents. It copies data from accounting packets to the file. Alan DeKok.

Is this *really* neccessary? Alan, I'm sorry but I've been on this mailing list for a very long time... As someone before said, you are VERY condescending and it's rather unpleasant. -- Regards, Chris Knipe

Yes. Explaining *how* things work is useful.

If you want technical help, and technical explanations, this list is for you. I have *zero* patience for people who don't contribute, but who demand that I cater to their delicate sensibilities. Have enough maturity to realize that technical answers should not be seen as personal attacks. Feel free to unsubscribe. Or stay subscribed. I don't really care. But either way, you're not my boss, or the enforcer of super-duper politeness. Stop complaining. Or else. Alan DeKok.

YEASUS CHRIST!!!! Get off your fucking high horse! Oh wait - let me rather just stop using FreeRadius all together, because of idiots like you. If you can't be POLITE, then SHUT UP! -- Regards, Chris Knipe

This list is for technical questions and technical answers. If the answers offend you, read them again. There are no personal insults, ad hominems, etc. Just "You made a mistake, go read this documentation". I don't have time to answer questions with"pretty please if it doesn't bother you *too* much, maybe you could think that perhaps (just saying) you might have made a mistake”. If someone requires coddling due to emotional sensitivities, they should probably not be out in polite company. Alan DeKok.
Ok, I just read the rest of this thread. I didn't take Alan's answer as condescending. I took it simply as a technical answer,which is what I was looking for. Once you get used to Alan's communication style, he is very helpful. A very good resource. Michael Martinez http://www.michael--martinez.com

That hypocrisy is why I have zero tolerance for such nonsense. The people demanding that everyone *else* bend over backwards, are themselves the first to engage in cursing and invective when someone disagrees with them. I've seen such demands destroy other groups, both in person and online. I won't allow such destructive behaviour here. Alan DeKok.
Ok, that must be it. Makes sense. I have only been testing auth packets with radclient, and ssh-ing into it which, I assume, is only doing auth as well. On Thu, Feb 25, 2016 at 5:24 AM, Alan DeKok <aland@deployingradius.com> wrote:
