Hi,
I'm having some trouble figuring out what direction to go to track total
usage for certain users. We recently signed up with IPass, and have it
working fine. I auth off of a unix password file and a flat users file,
but log to a sql database...
How can I:
-keep a running total of usage on my IPass users (they hit their own
Handler).
-eventually put an upper limit on this usage.
As a hack around I was going to just add another column to my db called
"total time" and run a cron job that would periodically addup all my
"acctsessiontime" stats for each user. I assume some type of post-auth
hook could do this, but I'm really no big perl guy... And a pre-auth
could look at that column as well and if it's more than "x" minutes, deny
the login...
Any ideas? I know I can't be the first to need to do this, as IPass
strongly recommends doing all you can to keep a possibly hijacked account
from being abused (and paid for).
Thanks,
Charles
