It is annoying however I suggest you take a look at the sqlippool module as you can both easily play with the expiry time, and script sql commands from cron instead of deleting files on disk. There are quite a few additions in cvs head (soon to be FreeRADIUS 2.0) so I suggest you run it instead of the 1.1.x branch..

Incomplete accounting sessions and IP pool resets
Hello Freeradius users! I have a recurring problem that I'm wondering if any of you have run into. I am currently running freeradius 1.1.4 (haven't had time to upgrade yet) on Suse Linux SLES 10 together with a Myql DB engine. I am using IP pools to supply users coming from various NAS:es with IP adresses. These IP pools seem to run out of IP adresses which is surprising given that I have more IP adresses than users for each NAS. Basically, new access requests don't get anywhere because there aren't any free IPs left. Once I stop freeradius, delete the ip pools and start freeradius again everything is fine. It is annoying however I suspect the problem may be related to the fact that some sessions do not recieve accounting session stop packets. This happens alot so currently I'm working around the issue by way of a cron jobb that deletes the IP pools and restarts freeradius every night - but this is a workaround and I really would like a better solution. Particularly since the problem creeps up in daily operations aswell. Also; I have no control over the NAS:es but I can discuss the issue with the NAS admins if i know what to look for! Does anyone have any suggestions / ideas / experiences with this sort of problem? Thanks and Best Regards, Johannes R-E - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Yes. if the server isn't told that the IP is free, what is it supposed to do?
