Sorry for the double-post - wasn't sure if my first one went through since
it took so long - this one is almost 40 minutes late as well - sorry.

Subject: RE: FreeRadius Log File ?


Hello all - I have freeradius with mysql up and running perfectly.  I
recently "upgraded" from icradius because it seems to have dropped off the
face of the earth.  Anyways - there was a feature in icradius where I could
poll the log file to get customers authentication status.  I created a link
to a php file which referenced this log file for our techs to help with
troubleshooting.  The file looks like this:


<?php

include ('header.php');
$file ="/var/log/radius.log";
$limit="60";

$fp = popen("/usr/bin/tail -$limit $file", 'r');
if (! $fp ) {
  echo 'unable to pipe command';
}

while (!feof($fp) ) {
   $line = fgets($fp, 4096);
print $line."<br>";

}

include ('footer.php');
?>

But - there doesn't seem to be any log file I can poll this type of info
from.  Here's an excerpt of what I was able to get with the above:

Wed Jun 28 13:22:13 2006: Auth: Login OK: [sshort] (from nas CiscoAS5300/S0)

Do we have a log file we can poll this type of info from, or does it store
it in the mysql database somewhere?

Thanks,

Additional Information:

I did find in the radiusd.conf file:

# allowed values: {no, yes}
#
log_stripped_names = yes

#  Log authentication requests to the log file.
#
#  allowed values: {no, yes}
#
log_auth = yes

#  Log passwords with the authentication requests.
#  log_auth_badpass  - logs password if it's rejected
#  log_auth_goodpass - logs password if it's correct
#
#  allowed values: {no, yes}
#
log_auth_badpass = yes
log_auth_goodpass = yes

But have not found where this log file resides.

Thanks,
Scott Miller
