Hi List,
I know this is probbly more a pppd question, but I figure you
folks using radius probbly have the same problem I do, so here goes:
I've got pppoe servers out in the field that run linux/pppd v2.4.2
with radius authentication to a server running freeradius. What I'd like
is for my pppd sessions to periodically re-authenticate to the radius
server, say every 1/2 hour or so. I want this because I want to be
able to disable users and (eventually) have their ppp sessions die and
then fail to restart until I have re-enabled them, so if they don't pay
their bill then they get shut off.
My servers are usuaully small embedded systems running on
solar power running a custom inhouse linux distro with only a small CF and
a limited set of installed tools (a total of around 14m of stuff, just the
basics). I can't afford a whole lot of added software baggage (like python
or perl).
I've looked to see if there was some standard way of doing this
and on linux alone with the tools I presently have, I haven't run across
anything yet. If having pppd re-authenticate isn't the right answer, then
what is? A process that logs into the box and does a kill? I don't like
that one.
Thank you.
