NAME

       radzap - remove rogue entries from the active sessions database

SYNOPSIS

       radzap  [-d  raddb_directory]  [-h]  [-N nas_ip_address] [-P nas_port] [-u user] [-U user]
       [-x] server[:port] secret

DESCRIPTION

       The FreeRADIUS server can be configured to maintain an active session database in  a  file
       called radutmp. Commands like radwho(1) use this database. Sometimes that database can get
       out of sync, and then it might contain rogue entries. radzap can clean up this database.

       As of FreeRADIUS 1.1.0, radzap is a  simple  shell-script  wrapper  around  radwho(1)  and
       radclient(1).

       The  sessions  are  "zapped"  by  sending  an Accounting-Request packet which contains the
       information necessary for the server to delete the session record.  radzap sends a  packet
       to  the  server, rather than writing to radutmp directly, because session records may also
       be maintained in SQL.

OPTIONS

       -d raddb_directory
              The  directory  that  contains  the  RADIUS  configuration  files.   radzap   reads
              radiusd.conf to determine the location of the radutmp file.

       -h     Print usage help information.

       -N nas_ip_address
              Zap the entries which match the given NAS IP address.

       -P nas_port
              Zap the entries which match the given NAS port.

       -u user
              Zap the entries which match the given username (case insensitive).

       -U user
              Zap the entries which match the given username (case sensitive).

       -x     Enable debugging output.

       server[:port]
              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, and radius for all other
              requests. If a service is not found  in  /etc/services,  1813  and  1812  are  used
              respectively.

       secret The  shared  secret  for  this client.  It needs to be defined on the radius server
              side too, for the IP address you are sending the radius packets from.
