Question about AcctUniqueID

6 Dec 2005

      Hello all,

I read the docs and hunted down some messages from this list about it. 
Here is what is in my radiusd.conf on both servers:

acct_unique {
     key = "User-Name, Acct-Session-Id, NAS-IP-Address, 
Client-IP-Address, NAS-Port-Id"
         }

(forgive the line wrap)

I noticed this in my radacct table:

I have obviously obfuscated some of the data, but I kept it sane to the 
original.

The part that has me puzzled is the NASPortId (I didn't change that in 
the data above).  I assume that is the same as NAS-Port-ID in the key 
above, but FreeRADIUS has created identical AcctUniqueId's with diff ports.

I am using 0.9.3 at the moment.  I am working on uprading, but was 
wondering if this is a bug, or something that I may have missed in the 
ChangeLog, or am I missing something else?

Thanks!
