I do believe that the NAS needs the return packet. Do they have the same acctsessionid and acctuniqueid? --Steve

Subject: Re: FreeRadius logging lots of duplicates?
I have three different modem banks that are all logging duplicate stuff. I have a Portmaster 3, Max 4000, and two Max TNTS. All of which are logging things 100 times.
If I tcpdump while it's repeating the logging the NAS box is repeat sending a bunch of the requests. So I'm guessing it's never hearing back "I got your Accounting packet" even though the server is logging it. Do the accounting packets require an acknowledge?

That would make sense, except every packet or session or whatever you wanna call each entry in the logfile for each session has the same "Acct-Session-Time"
I would expect it to increment if it was doing interval accounting?

Sounds like your NAS is sending Acct Interim Interval packets, mine is configured to send them every 5-10 minutes during an active session. You should be able to configure your NAS to only send this information during Start/Stop.

I just noticed that in the detail log files I'm seeing LOTS of duplicates of sessions. If I grep the log files for a specific "Acct-Unique-Session-Id" it's showing up 72 times!!! Even assuming one for start and one for stop it's still logging each entry rougly 36 times. The weird part is that the times for all these entries are spread across the WHOLE day. So if the sessions occured at 10am, it will log it them, and randomly throughout the next 24 hours log them over and over. I haven't checked if it logs the same entry over a couple of days.
I'm assuming this is because the NAS box is sending the same accounting packet over and over again, but I don't know why it would be doing that. Does the radius need to acknowledge to the NAS box that it received the packet? What would cause the radius server not to do that?
Where can I start to troubleshoot this?
