Here is a script I wrote in perl to process the clients.conf file and output a
comma seperated variable list. This can be used to import the clients.conf
into a database if you are using one. Then the shortname, doesn't need to
take up an attribute, since it can be joined in.


I have also updated dialupadmin to use part of this script to convert, the
shortnames from the log files into an ip address based on the info in the
clients file.

I wrote this script before updateing the dialupadmin, files so this script
does not contain the hostname to ip address translation, yet.

I will be adding it to my script for myself, if others want it when I have
updated it let me know, it has been handy for me so far.

Hello all,

I am looking into adding the attribute client-short-name to be treated much as client-ip-address is in rlm_preprocess.

However there seems to be two ways of going about obtaining the information.

1) Lookup the client name based on the request->packet->src_ipaddr

2) Modify the request structure to store the client.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Joe

There is a fine line between genius and lunacy, fear not, walk the
line with pride. Not all things will end up as you wanted, but you
will certainly discover things the meek and timid will miss out on.
