RADRELAY

NAME

radrelay -- replicate accounting data to another RADIUS server

SYNOPSIS

radrelay [-a accounting_dir] [-d radius_dir] [-f] [-i source_ip] [-n shortname] [-r remote-server[:port]] [-s secret] [-S secret_file] [-x] detailfile

DESCRIPTION

Radrelay reads a file in the detail file format, reconstructs radius packets from it and sends them to a remote radius server. When end-of-file is reached, the file is truncated. Radrelay then waits for additional data to be written to the file, and starts over again.

OPTIONS

-a accounting_directory: The base directory to use to read the detail file from.
-d radius_directory: The base radius (raddb) directory, where the config files live.
-f: Do not fork and run in the background as a daemon.
-i source_ip: The source IP address to use for sending radius packets.
-n shortname: The radius configuration files (most probably clients.conf), will be searched for a client section with 'shortname' set to the used argument. Both the server secret and the remote-server address are obtained in this way. Do not use the -r, -s or -S parameters in combination with -n.
-r remote-server: The hostname or IP address of the remote server. Optionally a UDP port can be specified. If no UDP port is specified, it is looked up in /etc/services. The service name looked for is radacct for accounting packets. If a service is not found in /etc/services, 1813 is used. The -r parameter can't be used in combination with -n.
-s secret: Remote server secret.
-S secret_file: Read remote server secret from file, the file should contain nothing other then the plain-text secret.
-x: Enable debug mode, -x will activate radrelay internal debugging, -xx will also activate librad debugging.
detailfile: The detail file to use, this will be appended to the base accounting directory.
