Hi All, I was wondering if I were to perform authentication using EAP MD5, does it accommodate for Accounting in FreeRADIUS? Many Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ Check it out!

accounting is something that your NAS does. if the NAS does accounting and can account for such sessions then it'll "just work"(tm)
I notice that there are accounting section in some of the configuration files such as, "radius.conf". If accounting is performed by my NAS, then what does the accounting in FreeRADIUS does? Maybe you can elaborate on what do you mean? I'm new to FreeRADIUS. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

The NAS generates accounting records based on user activity. See your NAS documentation for details. FreeRADIUS takes the accounting records, and logs them to a DB, or where you've configured it to log them.

as Alan has stated, the accounting is done by the NAS, this then simply sends accounting packets to freeRADIUS which is then configured to dump them to a database (or wherever) depending on your config. alan
