  The message was about radutmp and radwtmp, not the detail file.

  The detail module doesn't look at the contents of the accounting
packet.  It just writes them to a file.

  The radutmp module needs to write *specific* pieces of information
to a file.  It needs that information, and it ignores any other
attributes in the accounting packet.

  e.g. LOOK at the fields of 'radutmp'.  Certain information is
necessary.

  The radutmp file has a 'port' entry, which is taken from the
NAS-Port attribute.  If there is no NAS-Port attribute in the
accounting packet, then 'radutmp' CANNOT create a radutmp entry for
that packet, so the packet is ignored, and the module returns NOOP.
