RE: Acct-Input-Gigawords

2008-09-24 Thread Edvin Seferovic
how do i use the Acct-Input-Gigawords and Acct-Output-Gigawords Attributes
with FreeRADIUS Version 1.1.3 and FreeRADIUS Version 1.0.2 and PPP
2.4.4? I set up the fields in the mysql-table but they do not get filled
with data.

Those will be filled when the connection goes over the limit of the
Octets. See the freeradius homepage for the explanation on this.

Is there a way (radius or ppp) to get the Accounting-Data on-the-fly
(realtime) or maybe all 2 hours without disconnection the actual session of
the user?

Depending on your NAS, you can send Accounting updates every 5 minutes ! The
attribute that NAS has to accept is called Acct-Interim-Interval. You can
set it to 300 ( 5 min ) !

Kind regards,

Hi,

 I set up the fields in the mysql-table but they do not get filled with data.
   

http://wiki.freeradius.org/FAQ#Why_do_Acct-Input-Octets_and_Acct-Output-Octets_wrap_at_4_GB.3F

(you need to modify the SQL queries as well, updating the database
schema alone isn't enough)

Greetings,

Where can i set it up? I use rp-pppoe-server and ppp 2.4.4 on debian

That attribute should be replied by the server in access-accept RADIUS
packet. You can define it for each user in your user DB ( SQL, LDAP ) and
freeradius should be able to add it to the above mentioned packet.

Re: Acct-Input-Gigawords in Exec-Program env

 I'm having trouble identifying the Acct-Input-Gigawords field in the

 Does anyone know how to ensure that it is being exported?

  Read the output of debugging mode.  If it's in the packet, it will be
exported to any shell program.  See doc/variables.txt for documentation
on how this happens.

 This correctly prints out all the env variables to the file as expected.
 The problem is however that with ADSL traffic regularly exceeding the
 Gigawords boundaries of Acct-Input-Octets, we rely on the
 Acct-Input-Gigawords for the overflow. This is unfortunately not showing
 up in the list of env variables.
 
 Anyway to resolve this?

  Make the NAS send the attribute.

  If the NAS isn't sending the attribute, how do you expect the server
to log it?  What value do you expect the server to use?  Does it invent
the attribute out of thin air?
