detail files and accounting Alive packets

[Mike Mitchell]

Hi Christopher,

I do something like this (YMMV as I've made changes to the code to support
stuff I want to do, this could have been one of those changes? ;-) )


In acct_users:

DEFAULT Acct-Status-Type == Alive, Acct-Type := ACK


And in radiusd.conf:

modules {

	...

	always handled {
		rcode = ok
	}

	...

}


preacct {

	...

	files

	...

}

accounting {

	...

	detail


	Acct-Type ACK {
		handled
	}

	...

}



Give it a go, have a mess with it, and see what happens.

Hope that helps.

Mike
