We have a script, 700-800 lines perl, which tries to correlate ascend syslog lines. It still cannot solve all mysteries. > As you can see, multiple start/stop messages are being sent to the radius > daemon.

I've upgraded to the latest radiusd from ftp.ascend.com and > using 5.0Ap5 The previous MAX sw versions just started to mess the log under heavy load, a user could have *really* logged out, and two hours after the logout MAX could still send additional copies of these accounting records. The funniest thing with 5.0Ap5 is that it will also remember old and deleted configuration settings: We have a new experimental radius daemon, derived from the ascend radiusd. We wanted one MAX to use this special daemon, and I first added this special version as #1 and moved the normal version as #2 at the radius server list. It didn't work. When the MAX was rebooted it sent some garbage? to the #1 and then started to use #2. I then removed #2 from the server list, and rebooted the MAX again. It again sent something strange to #1, but after a radiusd restart *authentication* started to work with #1. The funny thing is, that MAX still sends *accounting* records to #2, though #2 doesn't exist in the MAX configuration: >Auth=RADIUS ^x x Call Terminated x x Software +5.0Ap5+ x x Auth Host #1=128.214.38.195 x x x x S/N: 6332958 vx x Auth Host #2=0.0.0.0 x x Auth Host #3=0.0.0.0 x -- Vesa Halkka -O___/ University of Helsinki CC: ( / vhalkka@helsinki.fi ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.shore.net/~dreaming/ascend-faq">http://www.shore.net/~dreaming/ascend-faq</A>> or <<A HREF="ftp://ftp.shore.net/members/dreaming/ascend-faq.txt">ftp://ftp.shore.net/members/dreaming/ascend-faq.txt</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <STRONG>Follow-Ups</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg00267.html">Re: (ASCEND) multiple accounting records</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: "Dale E.
