(usr-tc) Acct-Terminate-Cause values
by ROC Services 28 Sep '99

28 Sep '99

Since just recently (probably since upgrading to 4.2 HiperARC code) I'm seeing a fair number of RADIUS log entries with Terminate-Cause 29 and 30 which are not in my RADIUS dictionary, nor in RFC 2139, nor revealed by a quick perusal of the HiPerARC reference guide. Can any of the TC gurus give me a quick answer as to what these are? A pointer to the correct FM to read would be fine also. Thanks... - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

RE: (usr-tc) Server Assigned DNS

There are two other places you can set this information. I don't know what the effects of each of them are, but I put all three of them in, just for good measure. I got this from a config Charles Sprickman once posted to this list (thanks Charles!) which I use as a base config when I set up a new box. add dns server x.x.x.x preference 1 set ppp pppdns_primary x.x.x.x set network user default primary_dns_server x.x.x.x secondary_dns_server y.y.y.y On Thursday, September 23, 1999 3:55 PM, Mike McHenry [SMTP:mmchen@minn.net] wrote: > Ahh, Netserver and ARC are not the same thing, in your first email you said > Netserver I believe.

(usr-tc) Ascend Pipeline 50
by vanhalen＠coredcs.com 27 Sep '99

27 Sep '99

Hello- For whatever reason, unknown to me, I cannot get an Ascend Pipeline 50 to connect correctly via ISDN. I have other users connecting 100% fine to a Netserver based box running Quads. Most of those users are ISDN. When this user with the Ascend dials in, they never get a Start record in radius accounting. I can see them come across but it never starts and it immediately disconnects them. Anyone have any ideas on what I can change on the Pipeline to get them to work? Since I have everyone running fine on this box except the Ascend, I don't think I need to change anything on the box or at the very least I'm really reluctant to do so. Here are the versions anyway.

Das: This is a known issue. According to Network Engineers on our DSP team the issue is in the Free PPP code. Apparently the later versions of our Hiper Arc code have now exposed an issue that was latent in the Free PPP code all along. Since this issue is in the FreePPP Product, we can not directly resolve this issue. Currently I have been told there are no plans for a 3Com fix for this issue. The obvious work around is to have the Mac End Users use any other program than Free PPP. Hope this helps.

Re: (usr-tc) SNMP challenge: ARC username from IP address

If it were just a > matter of finding out what user corresponds to which IP address (or > vice-versa), it's just a couple SQL queries. The specific reason is "it's portable". It works on any platform regardless of Radius server or SQL server or even operating system (NT/Unix). This is for a set of tools I give away... and if I'm giving away code, it makes sense to have as little site specific code as possible. :) The code is pretty easy to replace with faster site-specific code if you want to. I could speed it up for my own use by having Cistron log to MySQL and do queries off of that, sure... I'm not currently doing that but it'd be easy for me to do. Telnet would also work and is more or less portable, but I'd rather not have the admin password for my ARCs in plaintext in a Perl script. Cistron Radius's built-in tracking of users currently online doesn't work if you are running two parallel Radius servers for redundancy. If Radius server 1 goes down and server 2 starts authenticating people for a few minutes, your database of who's online at the time is trashed. Even with just one running, it tends to drift out of sync with reality at times. I need something that's going to always work.
