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. > what do you mean saying "> If the server receives accounting packets > without (say) a port "??? 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.
