Weird SQL Entry

[Connor Herring]

Hi All,

I'm putting this down to just being an anomaly but wondered if anyone had
any insight.

There's an entry in the radacct table of my SQL database with the MAC
address of one of my users. I was under the impression that only successful
authentication attempts were recorded in here but there is no record that
matches that username in the database to allow it to be successful. I can
see it in the radacct file of the NAS in the var/logs/ file of the server
but can't see if it was successful or not exactly.

Weirder still, I cannot see this authentication attempt in the radpostauth
table.

The MAC address is the same as the MAC of the device that sent the request
so I wondered if there had been any record of this sort of thing happening
previously. And if so what could cause it?

Kind regards,

Connor
