  Install the new version in a different directory
(/opt/freeradius-1.13), but it won't over-write your existing config.

  If you're not using Simultaneous-Use, the whole session tracking
section can be empty.  Otherwise, have you looked at the radutmp file?
If not, delete all references to it.

R: Session section misconfiguration?

[Francesco Cristofori]

Alan,
thanks for quick answering.

It's the next thing in the todo list, after I have understood configuration. :-)

Are there any particular caveats on upgrading or best practices I should know?

Hmmm... I need to make a little investigation on this, but I think the only 
thing we use is Dialup Admin interface, and it should use sql session 
accounting, isn't it?

Thanks again,

  If you're not using it, sure.

Session section misconfiguration?

[Francesco Cristofori]

Hi all,
I'm a newbie on with radius in general and freeradius and this is my first post 
on this list, so please be patient, I apologize if my questions are silly.  :-)

I'm trying to understand a freeradius 1.0.0 + mysql 3.23.45 installation 
(solaris8) someone else made some years ago: in radiusd.conf i have this 
section:

session {
radutmp
sql
}

I believe it's not a wise choice to make double session accounting, so I was 
thinking to remove the radutmp statement. Is it a good idea? What happens if I 
leave everything untouched (no radutmp statement removal)?

Thanks in advance,
Francesco.
