The server does not currently track those statistics.

  As always, patches are welcome.

Or I should use ?counter? module of FreeRadius?
No.  It won't do what you want.

Hi all,

Here is the issue I am facing with rlm_counter module.
I am using freeradius-server-2.1.4 and configuring Max session time
for each user.

for example:
user1          Max-Session-Time := 1800, Auth-Type := Reject
                Reply-Message = "Your time limit is used"

user2          Max-Session-Time := 3600, Auth-Type := Reject
                Reply-Message = "Your time limit is used"

and rlm_counter options are :

counter daily {
       counter-name = Max-All-Session-Time
       check-name = Max-All-Session
       key = User-Name
       reset = never
   }

I am observing that the user accounting record is not deleted from
rlm_counter module once the user has used his allocated time. For
example when user1 has used 1800 seconds allocated to him then I will
be deleting the user from users config and then add the same user
back. I am getting the "Your time limit is used" message :(.

Does somebody has information about how to delete the records from
rlm_counter module once they are expired with reset-option set to
never.

Regards
Ahmed Nifaz

Yes. Delete accounting records as well when you delete user details.

This would increase the accounting file size indefenitely and cause
some other problems as the user records are not at all being deleted.

Yes. Delete accounting records as well when you delete user details.
I tried that but that accounting file is in binary or some other
encrypted format. Will you please let me know about how to delete that
accounting record or how to convert that to simple text file ( which
would make easy deleting expired records) .

See the configuration: "reset = never" means "never reset".  Which
means "don't reset".

It's just a DBM file.  See the "rad_counter.pl" file in the source
tree.  It shows how to edit the file.

Hi:

I've used Livingston and Cistron radiusd's in the past with dialup ppp 
users and Cisco/Lucent NASes and have been able to do this with no 
problems.

Users are currently authenticating fine and getting assigned IPs from the 
IP pool as defined in the Cisco NAS.  However, I'd like to have a few, 
select users assigned static IPs from outside that pool, but the Cisco 
(2811) is simply ignoring the raddb/users file entry for that user and 
assigning an IP from the pool on the NAS.

Here is my Cisco config::
--------------------
aaa new-model
aaa authentication login default local group radius
aaa authentication ppp default group radius local
aaa authorization exec default local
aaa authorization network default if-authenticated
aaa session-id common

vpdn-group 1
  accept-dialin
   protocol pptp
   virtual-template 1

interface Loopback0
  ip address 99.99.99.99 255.255.255.255
  ip nat inside
  ip virtual-reassembly

interface Virtual-Template1
  ip unnumbered FastEthernet0/0
  ip policy route-map VPN-Client
  peer match aaa-pools
  peer default ip address pool vpnpool
  no keepalive
  ppp encrypt mppe auto
  ppp authentication pap chap ms-chap ms-chap-v2
!
ip local pool vpnpool 172.16.30.2 172.16.30.254
---------
Here is the raddb/users file entry:
---------
testuser        Service-Type == Framed-User
                 Framed-Protocol == PPP,
                 Framed-IP-Address = 172.16.1.2,
                 Framed-IP-Netmask = 255.255.255.255,
                 Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobson-TCP-IP

DEFAULT Framed-Protocol == PPP
         Framed-Protocol = PPP,
         Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobson-TCP-IP
--------------
The DEFAULT entry allows users in /etc/passwd to authenticate fine, but 
"testuser" still gets an IP from the NAS pool instead of the one above.. 
Any pointers appreciated!

Subject: wired 802.1x for desktops (offtopic)
To: freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org

Hello,

Sorry for this off-topic message, I have a question about 802.1x deployment
and don't know where to ask. As freeradius is one of the element I think of,
maybe someone here can help me find the solution ?

My Goals :
1) authenticate access to the network from Open Public Access Catalog (OPAC)
desktop machines available to every user of a biblioteque.
2) have a guest account with limited LAN access (no access to internet, or
just a very short whitelist)
3) Keep the machines reachable from some servers (ghost server, monitoring,
etc). (this criteria eliminates the solution of a captive portal)

I thought 802.1x with dynamic vlans would be a nice solution as it should
permit to put the guest account in a specific vlan.

But how would it be possible to reach the machine from the management
servers before someone authenticates ? Is it possible to have a default vlan
activated on startup of the machine ?
Or do you know where I should ask this question ?

Regards,
