Hello, May I please present 2 questions. 1. I use RADIUS authentication and I am increasing the POPs. Now suppose I have POP-a, POP-b upto POP-n. I want clients registered at the different POPs to be able to login at any other POP using their username and password. A client from POP-a visits the area where I have POP-b and s/he should simply change the number to dial and everything should work. What my question is: Other than Proxy radius, is there any other safer way of ensuring the user can authenticate at all POPs without hassles? I am thinking of something like a db file that stores the authentication details (/etc/raddb/users + /etc/passwd) and this is synchronized between all the POPs in say, hourly intervals, maybe by rdist or something..I just have a vague idea ;-) 2. Second question. I would like to be able to get the totals of all the bytes transferred (sent and received) by a client, daily totals as well as monthly totals. I am not any good in scripting but I have a feeling there is some script somewhere, maybe from Lucent or someone, than I can use to do this. I know this data can be found in the detail files...only how do I process it... I just need a pointer.
