Hi, I am using Freeradius with a MySQL backend and the users log in through Chillispot running on Buffalo and Linksys routers running DD-WRT. The problem is that randomly users are recorded up to five times in radacct with one login. This is not a problem for users with expiration acccounts but users with max-all-session accounts are thrown out before they have really used up their time. Has anyone come accross this before? I'd appreiate any help.
Accounting packets may be re-transmitted by the NAS. They may be received multiple times by the server, and recorded multiple times. The default configuration *should* catch most of these cases, and record only one set of information for a session. But some NAS equipment tries hard to send broken accounting requests to the server. Look at the "detail" logs to see which packets get recorded multiple times. Alan DeKok.
