Ok thanks for your information. Now i can confidently use other method to get the accounting data from Radius server. It is good & easy for me to get whole radacct log file in NAS (using rsync) for now and use it accordingly. Can you send me a good link to integrate accounting data on Radius server to a database server like MySQL. So that i can unrestrict the use of NAS radiusclient to others radius server also.
