Freeradius incorrect acctstoptime

Hi Alan,
Thank you for your reply. I have ran freeradius in debug mode and closely inspected each packet. No NAS is sending accounting stop packet incorrectly (At least it is not getting printed in logs).<br/>
We do not have simultaneous user check or any SQL counter active. I will check for option C, mentioned by you. What i have observed(and mentioned earlier) there is an update query which may be the culprit.
It is updating acctstop time for all records where nasipaddress = '192.168.182.1' and acctstoptime is null. This results in mass update of all such records. All openwrt nas have nasipaddress as 192.168.182.1 and hence the incorrect result.<br/>
Could you please tell me what executes this query? In the mean time i will try and log all SQL queries.
Thanks a lot!!

FreeRADIUS doesn't invent accounting packets. You have a few choices:
a) your NAS is incorrectly sending accounting "stop" packets for sessions which are ongoing
- rare, but not impossible.
b) something else is writing to the DB and setting acctstoptime
- maybe you have Simultaneous-Use checking configured, and it's going wrong?
c) you've configured the server to write stop times for non-stop packets
- possible, but not common.

Log all SQL queries, and all accounting packets. Then, see which ones update acctstoptime. And find out why...
