Accounting-Start packet question

[Brian Clarkson]

so i've read through the O'Reilly _Radius_ book, the FAQ for FreeRADIUS, 
and browsed the list's archive, but i still i have a relatively basic 
question that just needs some clarification.

Accounting-Start packets are sent by the client ( which could be either 
the NAS or the end-user in the case of wireless auth, which is what i'm 
doing ).

if a NAS hasn't implemented the full AAA architecture ( i.e. only 
supports RADIUS for authentication but not for accounting ), then the 
only way to get the Accounting-Request packet is to hae the end-user 
send it ( which is, IMHO, an unreliable method ), correct?

is there some kind of way around this, like faking an Accounting-Start 
in the radgroupreply table ( in MySQL )?

thanks

brian
