The NAS never sends a "clearnasquery", unless you count the "Accounting-On"
that some NAS's send when they start up.

Don't know about this.

But is this the correct behaviour? Just because you have lost connectivity
between your Radiator host and your NAS doesn't necessarily mean that you
should clear the SessionDatabase.

I'm also not clear on how this is going to help your users' accounting records
in any case. It seems to me if you don't get a Stop from the NAS, your only
option is to manually send a Stop from something like radpwtst.

Or perhaps I don't understand your problem well enough?

Please get back to me if I haven't understood.
