[RADIATOR] How to create a log file of user <-> IP association

[Paolo Di Francesco]

Hi Hugh

yes that seems the right direction. At the same time it would be helpful 
also change the format, i.e. what is recorded in the file in oder to 
take only the information that I need.

I have seen that I can change the format with the command 
AcctLogFileFormat but I do not find the whole list of strings to 
complete the "line" that I want to print.

In addiction to the following

AcctLogFileFormat %{Timestamp} %{Acct-Session-Id}\
  %{User-Name}

I would like to record also the following variables:

- user-IP: the IPv4 or IPv6 address for this session
- if the user is getting or leaving this IP

so it should be ok to keep track of IPs allocated to users in the system

Moreover I would NOT to record all the messages that I get right now, 
because at the moment I get also the Alive packets (Acct-Status-Type = 
Alive ) which makes the log huge (if every N seconds I log an Alive 
packet from each customer/NAS the log will grow quickly).

Thank you.
