Acct-Type behaviour

16 May 2007

      Hi Alan,

with cvs head from May 10:
I had following accounting section:
accounting {
    detail
    sql
    attr_filter.accounting_response
}
where all modules were invoked to process the request.

then I've changed it to:
accounting {
    detail
    Acct-Type RELAY {
	radrelay-detail
    }
    sql
    attr_filter.accounting_response
}
where radrelay-detail is defined in modules correctly and Acct-Type is
set in acct_users file:
DEFAULT Client-IP-Address != <SOME_IP>, Acct-Type := RELAY

The goal is to log all accounting packets except of those sent from
certain IP(another radius). The log file is then to be processed by
"radrelay personality" of freeradius.

My "problem" is that if the Acct-Type is set to RELAY then no other
module from accounting{} gets called except of radrelay-detail. I
thought that correct behaviour is that all modules from accounting{}
should be called and if Acct-Type is set to RELAY then radrelay-detail
should be called as well.

In order to achieve desired behaviour my accounting{} looks now:
accounting {
    Acct-Type RELAY {
	radrelay-detail
	detail
	sql
	attr_filter.accounting_response
    }
    detail
    sql
    attr_filter.accounting_response
}

Is this a bug or a feature? Please advise.
