ProFTPD module mod_quotatab_radius

## ProFTPD module `mod_quotatab_radius`

This `mod_quotatab` submodule is contained in the `mod_quotatab_radius.c`, part of the `mod_quotatab` package and is not compiled by default. See the `mod_quotatab` documentation for installation instructions.

This submodule provides the RADIUS-specific "driver" for retrieving quota limit table information from a RADIUS server.

## RADIUS Limit Quota Tables

RADIUS-based quota tables (source-type of "radius") can only be used for limit tables, not for tally tables. The frequent updates needed for maintaining tally tables mean that RADIUS is not well-suited to handle tally table storage.

The `mod_quotatab_radius` module supports the "radius" string for the source-type parameter of the `QuotaLimitTable` configuration directive.

The RADIUS attribute to be looked up should contain a comma-separated list of values, in the following order:

      per_session,limit_type,bytes_in_avail,bytes_out_avail,bytes_xfer_avail,
        files_in_avail,files_out_avail,files_xfer_avail

For example:

      "false,hard,100,100,100,100,100,100"

An example `proftpd.conf` configuration might look like:

      <IfModule mod_quotatab.c>
        <IfModule mod_quotatab_radius.c>
          # Use a RADIUS-based limit table
          QuotaLimitTable radius:$(777:false,hard,100,100,100,100,100,100)
        </IfModule>

        # Use a file-based tally table
        QuotaTallyTable file:/usr/local/proftpd/ftpquota.tallytab
      </IfModule>

This assumes that you have defined your RADIUS quota attribute to have an ID of 777, e.g.:

      ATTRIBUTE       FTP-Quota                    777     string
