the solution is to
set up a "counter" with "reset=never". I'm doing the same
thing
[wireless hotspot, pre-paid "one hour" cards, etc.] and for the most
part
the following seems to work for me:
[in
modules]
counter lifetime
{
filename =
${raddbdir}/db.lifetime
key =
User-Name
count-attribute =
Acct-Session-Time
reset =
never
counter-name =
lifetime-session-counter
check-name =
lifetime-limit
cache-size =
5000
}
[in
instantiation]
lifetime
[in
authorize]
..
sql
lifetime
..
[in
accounting]
lifetime
[in the SQL database --
radgroupcheck]
groupname:
onehour
attribute:
lifetime-limit
op:
:=
value: 3600
[if you are using a "user file"
instead of an SQL database, you would include
"lifetime-limit = 3600" in the
check items part of an entry, i.e., the first
line of the
entry]
users are associated with the
"onehour" group via an entry in usergroup table,
though for a one-element
group check item, you could simply put that item
into the radcheck table and
not bother with a group...
BIG HUGE CAVEAT: the current
production version (0.8.1) has a bug with
"reset=never" -- it resets when
the program restarts. This is fixed in the
CVS/development sources, so
it should be in 0.9 [due to be released in like a
couple weeks or less, from
what I hear...]

Hello everybody,
I have here, up and running, a FreeRadius 0.8.1 server
accessing a MySQL database to authenticate my users.
I have a table 'radreply', where I can define a custom
radreply for each user. I'm using this for a quite easy thing: I'm replying with
the default data a Session-Timeout, which is defined for each user.
What's going on: I have an user with the login 'igor', for
example, and I've configured a Session-Timeout of 60 seconds (1 minute). After 1
minute, my RAS disconnects the user 'igor'. But if 'igor' authenticates again,
he'll have 1 minute more.
I guess that I have to launch a database stored procedure or
something like on the STOP event, to calculate the remaining time and write the
right values on the right places.
Does anybody here have another way to do it? Have someone here
ever did that?
Suggestions are welcome.
