User Accounting (Start Stop)
I have users in a mysql database, set their daily session time at 4 hours daily. Somehow the limit is not being enforced... Am I missing something? A script perhaps? I'm using portslave as radius client...

RE: user accounting (one line questions)
Ok... here's what I want to happen... I have just installed portslave and freeradius Each users of my system which initially be allocated one hour online time and they can only login once a day... Some users will be allocated more time... (just like in a BBS) I hope I have made myself understandable. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Alan DeKok Sent: 05 February 2002 23:57 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: user accounting Peter Santiago [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Really am sorry...

You'll need two instances of the counter module, as you're doing two different kinds of counting. I would suggest putting the limited users into a group, as this will simplify the administration of the server. You can then use the example 'users' file given in the comments for the counter module.

Well, let me rephrase the question.

RE: user accounting
Really am sorry... I think it's better to post part of my config...
# This module takes an attribute (count-attribute), which MUST
# be an 'integer' or 'time' attribute. It also takes a key,
# and creates a counter for each unique key. The count is
# incremented when accounting packets are received by the
# server. The value of the increment is the value of the
# count-attribute.
#
# The 'reset' parameter defines when the counters are all reset to
# zero. It can be hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly.
#
# The counter-name is the name of the attribute in the 'users'
# file used to access that counter. e.g.
#
# DEFAULT Daily-Session-Time 3600, Auth-Type = Reject
# Reply-Message = You've used up more than one hour today
counter {
filename = ${raddbdir}/db.counter
key = User-Name
count-attribute = Acct-Session-Time
reset = daily
counter-name = Daily-Session-Time
check-name = Max-Daily-Session
allowed-servicetype = Framed-User
cache-size = 5000
}
What other files should I be messing with?
