The FAQ I looked at doesnt mention how-to configure accounting. Maybe I am
looking at wrong place? http://wiki.freeradius.org/Home
Also, for the PAM, do I need to enable accounting on the client as well? Is
the client responsible for sending accounting packets to the freeradius
server?
Please let me know the FAQ link you are referring.
