RADCHECK(8)					      RADCHECK(8)

NAME
       radcheck - determines whether a Merit AAA server is opera-
       tional.

SYNOPSIS
       radcheck [ -ddirectory ] [ -pport ] [ -rretries ]
	    [ -ttimeout ] [ -ghuntgroup_name ] [  -ssubgroup_name
       ]
	    [ -x ] [ -v ] [ -n ] servername

DESCRIPTION
       Radcheck	 determines  whether  a given Merit AAA server is
       operational.  The servername is required	 on  the  command
       line.   This  is the DNS name of a machine running a Merit
       AAA server.  See authfile(5) for more  information.   Rad-
       check may be executed on any host, not just one registered
       in the clients file, however, in those  cases,  all  lines
       but  the last line of the radcheck output (the "servername
       (port-number) ..." line, see below) are omitted.

       If the server is found to be  operational,  radcheck  dis-
       plays

	      auth  queue:  a/b(a/b),  acct queue: c/d(c/d), max-
	      time: t (date)

	      authfile: x, clients: y, users: z, fsmid: f, date

	      cleanup_delay: u, avg-delay v, (of w)

	      Version  version	config codes

	      "servername (port-number)" is responding

       on standard output.  If the number of retries  is  greater
       than zero, radcheck will additionally display

	      (n retries)

       otherwise, radcheck displays

	      "servername (port-number)" some message

       where  some  message  may be one of the following (amongst
       others):

	      No reply from RADIUS server "<hostname>(port)"

	      Received non-matching id in server response

	      Received invalid reply digest from server

	      No such server: "<hostname>"

       For the enhanced Merit AAA server the above output is pre-
       ceded by the following information:

	      Status:  g  authen,  h  unconfirmed, i connected, j
	      suspended, k unknown

	      Status: l disconn, m reject, n no-token, o  cancel,
	      p collision

       and  if	any  token pools are configured there will be one
       line for each such pool and the total number of pools dis-
       played in the following manner:

	      some-pool-name: q/r/s-date/t-timestamp

	      number of pools: n

       where  q is the total number of tokens configured in some-
       pool-name, r is the current number of tokens in use, s  is
       the  token  high-water-mark  recorded at date and t is the
       high-water-mark recorded at timestamp, some time since the
       previous midnight.

       The  above  discussion  of tokens and token pools does not
       apply to the enhanced Merit AAA server  per  se,	 but  are
       features	 of  the full Merit AAA server as operated within
       MichNet.

OPTIONS
       -d directory
	      allows the user to specify an  alternate	directory
	      which   is   different  from  the	 default  choices
	      ../raddb or /usr/private/etc/raddb.

       -p port
	      allows the user to specify an alternate port number
	      instead of the default port 1645.

       -r retries
	      allows the user to specify a number of retries dif-
	      ferent from the default 10.

       -t timeout
	      allows the user to specify a maximum  timeout  dif-
	      ferent from the default 3 seconds.

       -g huntgroup_name
	      allows the user to query a MichNet huntgroup server
	      about the named huntgroup.

       -s subgroup_name
	      allows the user to query a MichNet huntgroup server
	      about the named subgroup.

       -x     allows the user to turn on debugging output.

       -v     prints  the  version  of the Merit AAA distribution
	      used in building the program.

       -n     specifies that the RADIUS packet type Status-Server
	      should be used.

EXIT STATUS
       Normal  successful  completion returns zero to the system.
       If the response from the Merit AAA server had errors, rad-
       check  returns  -2,  local  errors  return -1, and timeout
       errors return 1 as status.
