Hi,

TBH, iu cant recall if expansions work for that section in radiusd.conf - if theres a quirky bug it wont get fixed in 2.1.12

Our Ubuntu server setup uses packages from http://packages.ubuntu.com using apt-get, they are still providing v2.1.12 and they have not changed to v3 yet. Not sure why Ubuntu support have not updated the packages for customers when its out of date....

but for logging there are 2 ways that do work....and should work fine

1) use the 'detail' module

2) use linelog

The detail log is not really what I want. I just want to record requests. It is working for 'default' and 'inner-tunnel' but nothing else :( I tried the linelog method, and that didn't work either. No logs generated. I am not even sure that detail logging is working either. There are a couple of old log files in the radacct directory but nothing newer.

for the details module - i think you are using this(!) ? you should be looking at modules/detail.log file - as thats the file that is actuslly >used for auth_log et al

and if %{Virtual-Server} expansion doesnt work there - easy, just create a new detail entry eg

eduroam_auth_log and call that instead of auth_log in relevant section of the virtual server - and do the same for the other calls to log >functions

eg

detail eduroam_auth_log { detailfile = ${radacctdir}/%{%{Packet-Src-IP-Address}:-%{Packet-Src-IPv6-Address}}/auth-detail-%Y%m%d detailperm = 0600 suppress { User-Password EAP-MSK EAP-EMSK EAP-Message MS-MPPE-Recv-Key MS-MPPE-Send-Key MS-MPPE-Encryption-Policy MS-MPPE-Encryption-Types } }

..for linelog, simply look at the modules/linelog file and configure as required....or make a new one eg

linelog eduroam-linelog { <put config here!> }

and then call linelog in relevant place to capture required bits - linelog is generally better as the output can be nicely customised to >contain exactly the stuff needed in format needed...

I tried this method, freeradius -X started up ok. But no logs generated... I am stuck at this point.

obviously there are many other methods - eg using the buffered-sql virtual server and copying detail output asynchronously to an SQL server so >you have logs in database format (great for searching)

some of this may only be applicable to 2.2.x - but thats what you should be running as a minimum these days (and even that is around end of >support time)

Any other ideas? BTW, what version of Freeradius are you using?
