@uggiz said in Captive Portal - Cron - Authentication issues:
but I am starting to wonder if the max-octets-* should be there?
The max-octest-.... files shouldn't be deleted.
They are created when pfSense creates the config of FreeFradius when it starts FreeRadius. And only at that moment.
I'm curious : who/what (where ?) told you to wipe these 'max' files ?
All is is very 'AFAIK' of course.

I thought it was a simple question : where did these 3 cron liens come from ? Didi I put them there ? (back in 2014 or even before ?) Was I told to create them ? Even Google can't show me anything useful.
Maybe this : before using FreeRadius, I watched the 3 (?) Netgate pfSense Freeradius Videos (Youtube Netgate channel) as these are not 'optional' (Radius is and stays no easy to master). I'll advise you to do the same.
Since then, I use pfSense FreeRadius for the portal authentication and accounting. It just 'works'.
