Those things have already been checked. No, the NAS is NOT sending any accounting packet (-X debug mode in radiusd). But this NAS is definitely capable of sending accounting packets. It was previously attached to a Sun machine (running other radius server), and detail file was being generated there all right. For a sequence of change of offices, we have failed put our hands on any document about that radius server or the Computone gear. One reason we suspected but could not find how to solve is, the NAS has an "Accounting CHAP Secret" (in addition to the usual "RADIUS Chap Secret"). Help says that this is "Authentication replies from RADIUS Accounting Server". We could not find a place in radius.conf or some place else where to put this password, so that the NAS can verify authenticity of the accounting server. May be it is to be put in a network related file (???). > Run it in debug mode, too, just like it suggests in the FAQ. We have already done that, as was pointed out above. From the start of using freeradius, we have gone through the FAQ a number of times. Thanks again for your response and for any future help.
