I am running freeradius 0.9.2 (have not yet updated to 0.9.3).
I've read through the FAQ and I didn't find anything, I also found no
relevant info in the list archive for the last 6 months using 'alive' and
'radwho' as search terms
(http://www.mail-archive.com/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=freeradius-users_lists_
cistron_nl&restrict=&exclude=&words=alive+radwho).
We run a server to authenticate DSL users. The requests come from an
upstream RADIUS server which is proxying. I'm not using mySQL, just
outputting to flat text.
radwho shows many duplicate entries of the same DSL users being connected
even though those PPP connections have long since ceased.
I can only presume that because freeradius is receiving requests with
Acct-Status-Type = Alive that it's creating new sessions in the radwtmp file
despite the fact that the Acct-Unique-Session-Id value is identical.
The log itself is being imported and processed by the accounting software
correctly, so it isn't a matter of multiple connections being billed. But
it's almost as if the daemon is reading Alive = Start as opposed to a
Stop/Start.
If anybody can shine some light on this it would be helpful. Here is an
example request (with "Alive"):
