# Thanks for the suggestion Rune!
A very flexible check radius script using radcheck.
I found all other scripts to slow or to unflexible so i wrote this one.
It has 3 functions check auth check acct and check status and one can supply ones own radius attributes and radius values. Warning and critical thresholds is in seconds.

(DEFAULT 0x00)
-|--del|delimiter In some cases the RADIUS Attributes values one needs to pass on to this script may contain default delimiter comma ","
in its string values. Like in string holders like Calling-Station-Id, ADSL-Agent-Circuit-Id or ADSL-Agent-Remote-Id etc.

DON'T forget to double quote your delimiter to the program like --delim ";" or -DEL ';'

-|--v|V|VERSION|version Prints program version
INFO: NEW in version 1.0.2 is that CRITCAL THRESHOLDS is checked first. The scripts now gives a critical EXIT if radclient exits with something else than 0
This was changed because people wanted to get alarms if passed in radius secret or syntax was wrong, and not only if radius server didn't respond in time.
Also only use the debug flag from the CLI Nagios may be very confused by it.
If you find any BUGs or have a suggestion on a feature or improvements then please drop a line to cocoon.is@gmail.com
IMPORTANT!! For this scripts to work with Nagios! This script needs to be able to find nagios supplied utils.pm file.
Edit this file at the top of the file change "use lib qw( /usr/local/nagios/libexec );" to point to where you Nagios
installation installed utils.pm.
IF you get errors looking like
"Global symbol "%ERRORS" requires explicit package name" Then it is a sure sign that your path to utils.pm is wrong.
Values of radclient flags -c and -r are hardcoded in the script if one needs to change those VALUES then just edit this file and
change where $RADIUS_RESENDS = "1" and/or $RADIUS_SENDS = "1" to whatever values is needed.
