(RADIATOR) How to pass arguments to hook?

[Frank Danielson]

Hi Jan-

You may want to look at DefineFormattedGlobalVar. This allows you to defince
varaibles in the confgi file which can be accessed inside a hook using
&main::getVariable(). There is an example of this in the goodies/hooks.txt
file.

Hello,

I'm writing hook used in NoReplyHook which implements better fallback to 
backup servers. I need somehow pass arguments to that hook, but I'm 
unable to find elegant way. At this moment I'm using:


<Handler>
   # This is infact configuration for NoReplyHook used later
   PreAuthHook sub { \
      $main::dead_realm_timeout = 5*60; \
      @main::dead_realm_servers = ('r1nren.etest.cesnet.cz', \
				  'r2nren.etest.cesnet.cz'); };

         <AuthBy RADIUS>
                 RetryTimeout            1
                 Retries                 0
                 FailureBackoffTime      0

		NoReplyHook file:"/etc/radiator/chose-server.pl"
         </AuthBy>

         AddToReplyIfNotExist    Tunnel-Private-Group-ID=1:100
         AddToReply              Tunnel-Type=1:VLAN,\
                                 Tunnel-Medium-Type=1:Ether_802
</Handler>

It works, but it's not nice, it's abusing of PreAuthHook and code is 
called every time this Handler is executed. Is there better way?

I wan't to use 'choose-server.pl' hook on mupltiple Handlers but I wish 
to pass to it diferent list of servers to choose from.

Thanks for any sugestion on this
