Dear All, can I ask for some pointers please. in my FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.8, for host x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (Ubuntu LTS 10.04) installation I have followed the Gigabyte instructions on the FreeRADIUS wiki's FAQ http://wiki.freeradius.org/FAQ#Why+do+Acct-Input-Octets+and+Acct-Output-Octe.... The Usage is calculated correctly, but the check_item value is not what I expect to see (1.7 GB as opposed th 6GB set in radcheck). I understand who the system determines the counter value and it is correctly calculated, but where does the check_item vlaue of 1.7GB come from? I have no idea to be truthful. Any pointers welcome. Thanks in advance.
