A "camper" is a connection that stays open for a long time. I believe there is usually the added assumption that the "camper" isn't really USING their connection the whole time...and so the term is generally negative. Hope the list will correct me if I am wrong :-) -= Mark Shumate -= InfoWest -= 596 E Tabernacle -= St. George UT 84770 -= (435)674-0165 -= marks@infowest.com

Lewis Bergman extolled:
- knocks off excessive users of same account (multi-logins) icradius and the attribute simultaneous-use=# of logins desired + radcheck.pl which does an snmp check on the tc1000 does it for us. All open source.
- monitors dial pool capacity and asks/boots long users off during peak use periods (within say 2 modems of a full pool for example, ask several users on for >6 hours to drop off for a bit, if no, boot them, keep them off for 15 minutes, then start the 6 hr clock over if they want to get back on) - boot & keep off line campers & the like.... Don't know about this. icradius is an sql based radius server which means you can do a query on anything you want and then perform some action via snmp or telnet from the result. I was planning on doing something for campers but
Please excuse my ignorance, but what is a CAMPER?
haven't gotten around to it yet. There is an snmp oid that takes the username converted into dotted ascii format and disconnects the user. I can't remember what it is of the top of my head but it is in the mib I'm sure.
Also, icradius has some exec() functionality but I don't think that would help you with your problems.
