Accounting-Packets from Huawei NAS randomly not being written to the database

[Antônio Modesto]

Hi folks,


I tried to run the server in debug mode for the whole afternoon to see if I could find something, but not even a single packet was lost during this time. The most intriguing is that I started the server in debug mode at 02:00 PM (GMT -3), the last packet lost was at 01:56 (GMT -3). I also noticed that these warnings stopped just after I started the server in debug mode:


Aug  7 13:59:27 radius-server radiusd[34270]: detail (/var/log/radacct/detail/detail-*:*): Read empty packet from file /var/log/radacct/detail/detail.work


I find this really weird, because this problem happens quite frequently. I didn’t mention this before but I am running FreeRADIUS Version 3.0.17.
