	Ok, thanks. I have to do more work to see if radutmp EVER had a 
record for the user or not. My initial thought was that when the user logged
off and an accounting stop record was sent, that it updated the radutmp file,
and then "SOMETHING" happened that the sql radacct didn't get updated. I never
thought that for some reason the accounting start and interim update records
were getting into sql but none of it ever making radutmp.

	Are radutmp entrys ONLY created during accounting start requests, and
deleted during accounting stop records (Or Accounting On/Off for a NAS), or
can an accounting interim-update cause the creation of a radutmp entry that
wasn't there previously?
