Hi,
Thank you! It would be nice if FreeRadius could have more support for Gigawords built in!
FYI: CVS just got a commit that includes Gigawords support for the mySQL backend. It behaves pretty much like the one in postgresql, which, for the record, has had Gigawords support included since long time ago. The behaviour is different from that in the quick-n-dirty HOWTO that was referenced in this thread: the correct octet value is computed out of the two attributes Acct-*-Gigawords and Acct-*-Octets and the result is saved in the Acct*Octets column in radacct. No seperate column to catch the Gigawords is necessary. IOW: it just works now. If the client sends Gigawords, your accounting table will contain the 64-bit value. For FreeRADIUS 2.0, this obsoletes the steps "Mysql Table Modification" and "Freeradius Update" in http://www.netexpertise.eu/en/FreeRadius/GigaWords.html I.e.: just configure your NAS, the server side will handle it just fine.

Hi, Glad to know Gigawords support has been added in the CVS. The method with extra field is quick and easy for most of us but I agree it's always better not to change the backend structure... That's pretty much what I had to do to append accounting values at regular intervals: compute the values first. See http://www.netexpertise.eu/en/FreeRadius/DailyAcct.html Thanks for your input David ---- http://www.netexpertise.eu Hi,
