LOG FILES

4a. /var/log/radius/radutmp

In this file the currently logged in users are held. The program "radwho"
reads this file and gives you a summary. Rogue sessions can be deleted
from this file with the "radzap" program.

4b. /var/log/radius/radwtmp

This file is "wtmp" compatible and keeps a history of all radius logins/
logouts. This file can be read with the "last" program, and other Unix
accounting programs (such as "ac" and "sac") can be used to produce a
summary.

4c. /var/log/radius/radius.log

All RADIUS informational, diagnostic and error messages are logged in


this file, including all login attempts.

4d. /var/log/radius/radacct/<client_ip>/detail

This is the original radius logfile, as written by all the Livingston


radius servers. It's only created if the directory
/var/log/radius/radacct exists.

For more configuration options on the detail file please see


raddb/mods-available/detail as it expands upon this greatly.

5. MORE INFO, SUPPORT

The latest version of FreeRADIUS is always available from


the git repository hosted on GitHub at

https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server

or see

http://freeradius.org/git/

for more information.

There are two mailing lists for users and developers. General
user, administrator and configuration issues should be discussed
on the users list at:

http://lists.freeradius.org/mailman/listinfo/freeradius-users

When asking for help on the users list, be sure the include a
detailed and clear description of the problem, together with
full debug output from FreeRADIUS, obtained by running

radiusd -X

Developers only discussion is to be had on the devel list:

http://lists.freeradius.org/mailman/listinfo/freeradius-devel

Please do not raise general configuration issues here.

If you have ANY problems, concerns, or surprises when running


the server, then run it in debugging mode, as root, from the
command line:

# radiusd -X

It will produce a large number of messages. The answers to many


questions, and the solution to many problems, can usually be found in
these messages.

an SMS gateway to encode SMS data, a database to keep the data to and from
each recipient organized and a Web server that acts as the transmission line
between your SMS content, the SMS server components and the end recipients.
Step 1
Pick an SMS gateway application. The SMS gateway is a piece of software that
encodes your messages into SMS-compliant data. There are a variety of vendors
for this type of product. Select one based on feature set, price and flexibility for
your SMS delivery needs.

Step 2
Subscribe to a Web-hosting service such as GoDaddy, 1and1 or Rack Space.
Evaluate hosting services based on monthly subscription costs, whether the
server size and bandwidth meets your requirements and compatibility with your
SMS gateway.

Step 3
Setup a MySQL database on your server. Access the server administration panel
using the user name and password provided by your Web host. Navigate to the
"Database" section and click the appropriate button to initiate the database
setup. Specify the name of the database, user and password for database
access in the fields provided.

Step 4
Install the SMS gateway application on the computer workstations that are to be
used to create and send SMS messages. Give the SMS gateway access to your
MySQL database by inputting the URL to the database (provided by your host),
the database name, user name and password in the gateway administration
panel.
Step 5
Test the SMS gateway functionality. Use a test script that outlines each type of
message you want to send to clients. Compose and send several SMS
messages via the gateway to trial phone numbers, such as those belonging to
friends or colleagues.
