Hmm...
Define 'out of whack'. What exactly is going wrong ? I've had no problems
at all with accuracy of the accounting data from cistron-radiusd 1.6.4
*execept* when NAS's fail to send correct stop records, (or they're getting
swallowed up in the network, retries and all) and the program can hardly be
blamed for getting it wrong when accounting data fails to arrive.... :)
We've got about 130 lines here spread across two NAS's, not exactly 240,
but not nothing either..
Regards,
Simon
