Hello Dan -
The Acct-Session-Time attribute is received from the NAS and the value is whatever the NAS has reported. Radiator simply transcribes the attribute/value pair into the logs. You don't say what type of accounting requests are shown below, but I would guess they are "Alive's", in which case the values are probably cumulative. Starting a new log file will have no effect on the values at all. And yes the value is a number of seconds - see the radius RFC's for the attribute definitions (included in the Radiator distribution in the "doc" directory - "rfc2865.txt" and "rfc2866.txt").
I will need to see a copy of your configuration file (no secrets) together with a trace 4 debug from Radiator to be able to say any more. You should also check with your NAS vendor for the details of what is sent in the accounting records.
regards
Hugh

I have a few questions related to Acct-Session-Time. I seem to have answered most of them, but some I'm second guessing myself on.
First I see this in my session logs for a distinct user:
Acct-Session-Time = 710920 Acct-Session-Time = 711733 Acct-Session-Time = 712554 Acct-Session-Time = 713450 Acct-Session-Time = 714335 Acct-Session-Time = 715209 Acct-Session-Time = 716083 Acct-Session-Time = 716903 Acct-Session-Time = 717728 Acct-Session-Time = 718596 Acct-Session-Time = 719435 Acct-Session-Time = 720306
So, I'm assuming the Acct-Session-Time is cumulative. These numbers descend all the way down to 15, in (random) increments.
Are these numbers calculated on the fly, by radiator, from the detail file? So If i rotate the logfile every month, it starts over on a new log file?
Additionally, are these numbers in seconds (Another assumption I'm making)?
If so, then my math(bc 1.06) shows:
720306/60 12005 12005/60 200
So this user has had 200 hours of active session time?
Thanks!
