rlm_unix(5)							 FreeRADIUS Module						       rlm_unix(5)

NAME
rlm_unix - FreeRADIUS Module DESCRIPTION
The rlm_unix module reads crypt(3) passwords from the system password file, and allows the server to use them for authentication. The mod- ule also provides FreeRADIUS an interface into a radwtmp file (used by "radlast") when added to the accounting section. The rlm_unix module does provides the functionality for "Auth-Type = System". The module should be listed in the "authenticate" section. Please see the default radiusd.conf shipped with the server for an example of the correct usage of this module. As of FreeRADIUS 1.1.0, the module no longer reads, or caches /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, or /etc/group. If you wish to cache those files, see rlm_passwd. Most, if not all, configurations should not need those files to be cached. The main configuration items to be aware of are: radwtmp The path to the system wtmp file to be used for keeping the database of online users as read by the 'radlast' program. CONFIGURATION
modules { ... unix { radwtmp = ${logdir}/radwtmp } ... } SECTIONS

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. CONFIGURATION
modules { ... detail { detailfile = %A/%{Client-IP-Address}/detail-%Y%m detailperm = 0600 dirperm = 0755 locking = no } ... } ... accounting { ... detail ... } SECTIONS

FreeRADIUS VMPS Configuration

I could use some help with freeradius configuration. If there is any expert user out there kind enough to give me a hand, would really appreciate it. Goal: We are trying to use the freeRADIUS server's VMPS integration feature. Unfortunately the wiki pages do not have real life deployment... (0 Replies)
