Hi Hugh,
The missedaccounting file contained just the accounting stop records.
Yes, I waited for about 30 mins. and authentication requests started to
be rejected. That's when I had to restart Radiator. What can I do to
not interrupt the users authentication? Would it make any difference if
I use just a regular flat file, and not the 'AcctFailedLog...' feature
to capture start and stop records?
Thanks,
Janet
