Provided both the server and the NAS have not rebooted in the mean time, shouldn't the
server send a 'Maximum never usage time reached', based on the rules in sqlcounter.conf,
accounting packets or not?

How long the user has been logged on in the 24-hour period is not really relevant in my
case. All I need is that when the user tries to log in again > 24 hours after 1st logon
(based on AcctStartTime) he gets a 'Maximum never usage time reached'.



(I'll have to check on the accounting packets. Not sure about them)
