It can be done via some modifications to the module source.  Here is the approach I use in my modules:

At the top of each function:

	int rdebug;

        rdebug = !stat("/var/log/radacct/radius_debug", &sb);


Then after each DEBUG entry add:

	if (rdebug) radlog (L_AUTH, "%s", auth_msg); 

Note the L_AUTH is the level, the auth_msg is the message in the DEBUG statement.  You can also add our own debugging that way that goes beyond that provided in the original module.

To turn on this debugging just touch the filename listed in the stat command above.  Debugging for that module will start.  Disable it by deleting that file.  You can change the file name to anything convenient for you.
