hi michael
i had the same problems under my potato-debian without any sql, i.e. the radutmp, radwtmp and stmp simply haven't existed although they were in all relevant accounting sections etc. at the same time, the details file was full of lines. i tried to create the files with zero length, to make them world-writeable, i tried lot of things but nothing ever happened. three updates and a complete system update later i probably still have the same problems ;-) but it's not very important to me so i didn't check since then. i think, there is some issue (bug) related to that fact which has nothing to do with sql. you should probably take a look to the logs (this probably won't help :-)) and then you should try to strace your server grepping for fopens or somewhat like this. i wanted to do this but i simply didn't have time. the guys will be able to tell what exactly you have to do, i'm not a specialist for those questions. dumb questions: you are sure that your nas sends accounting packets? greetings, artur > Okay...
