newbie questions using freeradius as wifi access point

[Will Carter]

Thanks for pointing in the right direction with rlm_sqlcounter. I think I
have it working correctly, but I am not seeing how the following situation
can be accounted for.

The Max-All-Session attribute is working great if I want to allow a user to
buy a block of time and they can use it in increments. But say I want a user
to be able to buy a block of time that will expire at a certain time
regardless of how long they spend online during that time.

Can you give me an idea of the direction I should go to accomplish this?

Thanks again for the help and please excuse my ignorance as I am just
muddling through this.

Thanks,
will

  Wow... why not just use the "sqlcounter" module, which keeps track
of all of this for you?
