You're confused. The server NEVER sends accounting packets to itself.

Yes, that's because you sent it an authentication packet, not an accounting packet. > Please do not give me the same "read the docs" , I swear I have done > that and I admit I havent understood much.

You're sending the server authentication requests, and are wondering why it's not doing accounting. That's not a problem I'm capable of solving. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

So does that mean that I can use the radius server for authentication and I must use another server for accounting. Well to me it makes sense if I could have one server that will not only authenticate but also maintain a track of who is logged in and since when.
