This is how I do this Use SQLcounter module Put this in sqlcounter.conf (expecting that sqlcounter is already configged in the radiusd.conf) sqlcounter validity { counter-name = All-Secs-Passed check-name = Max-Secs-Passed sqlmod-inst = sql key = User-Name reset = never query = "SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - UNIX_TIMESTAMP(AcctStartTime) secs_passed_since_start FROM radacct WHERE UserName = '%{%k}' LIMIT 1" Create in the config dictionary file an attribute of Max-Secs-Passed For example: #ATTRIBUTE My-Local-String 3000 string #ATTRIBUTE My-Local-IPAddr 3001 ipaddr #ATTRIBUTE My-Local-Integer 3002 integer ATTRIBUTE Max-Secs-Passed 3000 integer In radiusd.conf: Authorize {} section: Put this: validity The Max-Secs-Passed var is defined in seconds. So if you want a user only to be able to logon in the first 24hours after his first logon, Max-Secs-Passed should be set to 86400 (60secs * 60minutes * 24) Hope this helps the question I think many people will have. You could use other check or counter-names, its just an example.... You also could combine this with volume limits, max total session time etc...

i set up freeradius succesfully for authentification against pam and users file :-)

Please don't use "authentification". It's "authentication". sorry for my poor english, it's not my mother-tongue ...

...

now i want to enhance the functionality about the following feature: setting up several predefined (guest) accounts with a generated username and password. this account should be valid from the first time it is used (first login) for 24 hours (or even better until 23:59 that day).

rlm_counter. Set it for 24 hours of access, and "reset=never". i read about this, but does this not mean that the user has an online time of 24 hours (or whatever i set in Max-All-Session-Time), so he can login until he has been active for 24 hours in sum?

thanks in advance for your help! markus
