as Alan has stated, the accounting is done by the NAS, this then simply sends 
accounting packets to freeRADIUS which is then configured to dump them to
a database (or wherever) depending on your config.

  The NAS generates accounting records based on user activity.  See your
NAS documentation for details.

  FreeRADIUS takes the accounting records, and logs them to a DB, or
where you've configured it to log them.

accounting is something that your NAS does. if the NAS does accounting
and can account for such sessions then it'll "just work"(tm)


I notice that there are accounting section in some of the configuration 
files such as, "radius.conf".  If accounting is performed by my NAS, then 
what does the accounting in FreeRADIUS does?

Maybe you can elaborate on what do you mean?

I'm new to FreeRADIUS. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
