Something is not correct in radius account with idle time out
-
hi..
after running captive portal a while, I look at radacct table I feel some time data package is not correct look at a picture, is it a bug?? -
I noticed the exact same thing. To make matters worse, since doing a fresh install of 2.0 (1.2.3 was installed before), traffic accounting also seems to be wrong.
I have traffic-based accounts in RADIUS (1GB/5GB/10GB packs) and they were working fine on 1.2.3, but since 2.0 they exploded in use and users are exceeding their quotas much, much faster. I can verify this by comparing the reports from RADIUS against the ISP's live quota page. In a 24-hour period, usage at the ISP went up by 1GB while users inside the LAN used 3-4GB of traffic. Is pfSense now accounting for local traffic as well? How can we disable that?
Can someone from the pfSense team explain why the accounting seems to be different from 1.2.3?

appears to be a problem in ipfw.

Is there any way we can help to fix this bug? I'd be happy to help.

I'm switching the pfSense box to m0n0wall to see if I can eradicate the issue, since I cannot find any 2.0RC3 or 1.2.3 ISOs of pfSense to download anywhere (no meaningful results in Google).
Would be keen to hear back once this is sorted.

This might be a stupid question, but as the bug if ipfw related ("ipfw entrystats is returning wrong values, leading RADIUS accounting to have values considerably higher than reality."), does this mean every bandwidth monitoring package mentioned at http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/How_can_I_monitor_bandwidth_usage%3F has the same problem?
Also, can someone confirm this bug does not excist at the 2.0 RC3 version as implied by ktrace in http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,39555.msg203797.html#msg203797 ?

No, none of those use ipfw entrystats. ipfw isn't even loaded unless you're running CP.
