Hello Ken,
Could it be a problem with accounting records that you send to the radius?
Cisco configures accounting for different types of logins. 'aaa accounting
exec' sends a start (if you configured of course) when a exec session
(shell) is made, and if you run autocommand on line interfaces then it
automatically switches to the ppp (network) session, and sends another start
packet for the same session (if you configured 'aaa accounting network').
Thus, your first start packet may be coming from your exec session (when a
user successfully authenticated for the shell), and the second one is coming
from your ppp session, when the user goes into the ppp session. If this is
the situation then you should be getting stop record for exec with 0 (zero)
session time. check it and and disable accounting for exec if you want.
hth.
regards,
Erdinc

Yes, you can configure Radiator to do anything (:-)).
You will need to configure a special Handler to recognise the first
accounting request and ignore it.
If you need help with the details, let me know.
