A RADIUS server, by design and intent, is nearly stateless. It ONLY does something when a NAS requests something. Making the server generate fake "Alive" packets completely changes it's functionality. Rather than hacking the server, I would suggest using something like 'radrelay', which is a seperate process, which ONLY relays/duplicates packets. > > If FreeRADIUS sees the users online, why doesn't the other system? > > You said that FreeRADIUS is doing nothing more than proxying > > packets, so they SHOULD be in sync automatically. > > I really don't know, Alan.

Sure, you know that the "live" users aren't in sync, but you don't know *why* they're not in sync. Trying to add more code, and expend a lot of effort to work around the problem is going to be a waste of your time. Find out the CAUSE of the problem, and fix THAT.
