FR 2.1.11git, Dead home server status server reply - possible minor bug

[James J J Hooper]

Hi Alan et al,

{Running FR from GIT upto commit b42665d4475835f38fe71ef749e39cd22587bcfa, 
Sat Oct 9 17:52}


Doing:
/bin/echo "Message-Authenticator = 0x00, FreeRADIUS-Statistics-Type = 131, 
FreeRADIUS-Stats-Server-IP-Address = ".....", FreeRADIUS-Stats-Server-Port 
= 1812" | /usr/local/bin/radclient localhost:18120 status secret

when the homeserver is "dead" I get back:

Received response ID 178, code 2, length = 200
	FreeRADIUS-Stats-Server-IP-Address = .....
	FreeRADIUS-Stats-Server-Port = 1812
	FreeRADIUS-Stats-Server-Outstanding-Requests = 0
	FreeRADIUS-Stats-Server-State = Dead
	FreeRADIUS-Stats-Server-Time-Of-Death = "Jan  6 1970 18:54:00 UTC"
	FreeRADIUS-Total-Proxy-Access-Requests = 1651
	FreeRADIUS-Total-Proxy-Access-Accepts = 122
	FreeRADIUS-Total-Proxy-Access-Rejects = 60
	FreeRADIUS-Total-Proxy-Access-Challenges = 1345
	FreeRADIUS-Total-Proxy-Auth-Responses = 1527
	FreeRADIUS-Total-Proxy-Auth-Duplicate-Requests = 0
	FreeRADIUS-Total-Proxy-Auth-Malformed-Requests = 0
	FreeRADIUS-Total-Proxy-Auth-Invalid-Requests = 0
	FreeRADIUS-Total-Proxy-Auth-Dropped-Requests = 0
	FreeRADIUS-Total-Proxy-Auth-Unknown-Types = 0

The date (Time-Of-Death) seems a little odd. I poked around in the code and 
got as far as the below, which looks possibly wrong, but I don't understand 
C enough to work out what to do with it from the surrounding code:

/src/main/event.c:

        /*
         *      Enable the zombie period when we notice that the home
         *      server hasn't responded for a while.  We back-date the
         *      zombie period to when we last received a response from
         *      the home server.
         */
        home->state = HOME_STATE_ZOMBIE;

        home->zombie_period_start.tv_sec = home->last_packet;
        home->zombie_period_start.tv_sec = USEC / 2;

{Apologies if I'm totally going in the wrong direction}

Regards,
  James
