I apologize for not giving all the info, I am new to radius and am still 
learning.  Yes I am
refering to the detail file.  Currently we have implemented a version of 
MERIT Radius.  I
know less about that than Freeradius, so forgive me if I do not give you 
what you need.

Currently we have two files that appear to be accounting data to me.

Following are what we get (I have removed IP info for safty sake)

These two lines are from logfile.20060220

Mon Feb 20 13:07:12 2006: Received-Authentication: 63/62890 'waltr' from 
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port
9126 PPP

Mon Feb 20 13:07:12 2006: Authentication: 63/62890 'waltr' from 
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port 9126 PPP
- OK -- total 0, holding 0


No, what is more important to me os from the session.20060220.las file 
(mainly the first
line)  This is strange though as because Pre-Auth the accounting data is 
sent to the merit
radius then forwarded to a freeradius and back.  Either way this is the 
format of the merit
radius and our scripts.

I hope this helps clear up my question.
