Raw message 

I am now using 0 as the idle timeout value.

/var/log/syslog is filled with the following:
- coova-chilli[#####]: net.c: 114: 13 (Permission denied) ioctl(SIOCSIFFLAGS) failed

This repeats 2 or 3 times per second, every second.

The response to the chilli_query command is:

I snipped out the other users for simplicity's sake. The idle clearly shows as being 21600 or 600, even though I have just changed it from 14400 (4 hours) to 0.
21600 is the value I originally set via radgroupreply with the attribute of "Idle-Timeout"
The ticket inheriting the default value of 600 was not listed in radgroupreply.
(I had to remove the first and last curly brackets to make the command work for me via sh.)

My solution for now will be to simply set 0 as the override value in radgroupreply and that should permanently fix it for me.

Thanks for all your effort in resolving this.
Let me know what to do about the /var/log/syslog/ error message.

Tim S
PS I haven't forgotten about the billing add-on I promised you, I'm just trying to clean it up a little as it was a very quick fix...

Nether of these SHOULD effect it. I've finally got my test hardware
running again, so I'll look at testing it. What value are you setting
in the web interface for the timeout? And have a look in the logs
(/var/log/syslog) for any chilli error mesages.

Also, run the following command with a user logged in (run it on the
server) and show me the output. (You may need to run it as root, or
with sudo)

Thanks

Tim
p.s. It appears that setting an idle timeout of 0 should give you
unlimited, so no timeout

chilli_query list | awk '{
           ($5 == 1) {
             print "User " i++
