RE: FW: Duplicate Accounting maybe once, twice a day
Hi Alan, thanks for the quick reply. If accounting packets are sent twice per default, do you have a guess as to why 1 or 2 per day lead to duplicate entries and the other hundred or so just have 1 entry?

There's little you can do to avoid that. You need to design the system so that it handles duplicate accounting packets. ... which sometimes is as simple as changing the database schema to use (username,acctuniqid) as unique key. When you do that and a duplicate accounting start packet arrives, the default accounting_start_query (insert) on dialup.conf should fail and accounting_start_query_alt (update) will be executed instead. So you won't have duplicate records. -- Fajar - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
