Hi,
RFC2866 (RADIUS Accounting) provides the following description of attribute type 46, Acct-Session-Time: "This attribute indicates how many seconds the user has received service for, and can only be present in Accounting-Request records where the Acct-Status-Type is set to Stop." Maybe slightly off-topic questions (in which case, apologies), but I've trawled back through various IETF mailing-lists (I can't find the oldest radius-wg ones as the group finished in 2000 or so) looking for the answer to: Why you can only use this with "Stop" records? Not knowing this generates the following questions: 1. Does FreeRADIUS behave in accordance with the RFC? If so, would it just ignore an Interim-Update Acct-Session-Time packet coming in? 2. How do other people set up so that a session being active for a certain period of time generates an alarm (in a management system, say, so it can be investigated manually), rather than just has the NAS close the session down? 3. Or is there some other RADIUS accounting attribute that I'm short-sightedly overlooking which can tell you this? Thanks, Sam - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
