Asking freeradius for the status

[Michael Schwartzkopff]

Hi,

I am just digging into the status server of freeradius. I read man
radclient and the comments of status server. But it seems I do nat have
the right clue:

1) Copying the example from the man pages of radclient:
$ echo "Message-Authenticator = 0x00" | radclient localhost sta
tus testing123

results in:
Received response ID 137, code 2, length = 20
and not, as described in the manual. What is my error?

The logfile of radiusd is:
rad_recv: Status-Server packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 32770, id=137,
length=38
        Message-Authenticator = 0xf068e18b120a18d84d00a1dba1cba97d
Sending Access-Accept of id 137 to 127.0.0.1 port 32770
Finished request 0.
Cleaning up request 0 ID 137 with timestamp +6
Going to the next request
Ready to process requests.


2) How to get other status info from the server? Using the
FreeRADIUS-Statistics-Type attribute? How exactly? Please post an
example. Thanks for any hints.

Sincerely,

Michael Schwartzkopff.
