rlm_detail(5)							 FreeRADIUS Module						     rlm_detail(5)

NAME

       rlm_detail - FreeRADIUS Module

DESCRIPTION

       The rlm_detail module writes radius packets to 'detail' files.  It is primarily used for storing accounting information, but can be used in
       other sections to write packet details as well.

       The file format is similar to that of the old Livingston servers, and many 'detail' file parsers should work with FreeRADIUS.

       The main configuration items to be aware of are:

       detailfile
	      The file name in which to store the radius packet records.  NOTE: this variable is run through dynamic  string  expansion,  and  can
	      include FreeRADIUS variables to create a dynamic filename.

	    %{radacctdir}/%{Client-IP-Address}/detail-%Y%m

	    This will create one file per month, for each client.
	    This accomplishes 'file rotation' automatically from
	    within the server.

       detailperm
	      The file permissions of the detailfile.  If omitted, the default is 0600.

       dirperm
	      The directory permissions of the directory where the detail files are created.  The default is 0755.

       locking
	      This  option  is	set  to  'yes'	or  'no'.   By default it is 'no'.  Set this to yes to enable file locking, which is used with the
	      'radrelay' program.
