If that is the case, then the 'sac' program you're using is buggy.
The radwtmp file and the detail files are written at the same time,
with the same info. The difference is that a lot of data is left out
in the radwtmp file (it's incomplete) and if some accounting packets
get dropped or arrive in the wrong order there will be corrupt or
missing entries in the radwtmp file.
That could be fix to a certain extent by only writing radwtmp entries
(both start and stop) at the arrival of a STOP packet. Disadvantage
would be that active entries wouldn't be show as (still logged in).
