I have added the lines above to my "users" file, replacing 1800 with a 
value of 20. However, the updates do not occur every 20 minutes. Do I 
also need to enable something on my NAS (Cisco WiSMs) to allow it to 
provide accounting on demand?

I did also try to edit the config on my WiSMs to push the accounting 
every 20 minutes but was unable to get that to work. The guy who 
primarily looks after the WiSMs is away at the moment.

How is interim accounting normally done? I don't mind if the accounting 
is pushed or pulled, whatever works.

Thanks,
Jonathan
