Dear all, I 've almost reolved trouble. Indeed, i actived accounting on my nas to make acounting running. But i felt my nas or something else is bugged. When a connection is sucessful , i can see packets on port 1812 and 1813. But after 20 seconds, i see log accounting wich announced Acct-Status-Type = Stop Acct-Input-Octets = 18014 Acct-Output-Octets = 58987 Acct-Input-Packets = 190 Acct-Output-Packets = 98 Acct-Terminate-Cause = Lost-Service Acct-Session-Time = 16 In fact, i didn't lost connectivity because client is always there and running without trouble. So i want to understand something. For accounting packets, is this radius server who requets "accounting fields" to the NAs controller ? When a client is disconnected for any reasons, how does it warn Nas controller ?Does the Nas wontroller role to warn radius server when it looses a client ? Best regards.

I'm gonna check if my NAS sends accounting packets by tcpdumping port 1813 on my server.

I'm focusing on accounting data. The filename is linelog under logdir. I create linelog under /var/log/radius/linelog myself with rights 644. . When i run freeradius, there is no data filled under after a sucessful authentification and connection. Do i miss something ?Are there any things to do to ? Here is linelog on attached file. You listed linelog in the accounting section of the default server right? Have you verified your NAS is actually sending accounting packets? -Arran - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

No. The NAS sends data in an accounting packet. The server has NO CONTROL over what the NAS sends.

When a client is disconnected for any reasons, how does it warn Nas controller ?Does the Nas wontroller role to warn radius server when it looses a client ?

Yes. But not all NASes do this. Alan DeKok.

I don't understand very well. i set accounting fields under linelog. So these fields come from radius server , don't they ?

I said they came from the NAS, and the NAS sends them to the RADIUS server. The attributes are not magic. The RADIUS server does not create them out of thin air. Alan DeKok.
