Thanks for the tip.
>From a Radiator point of view, we are simply logging to a standard
"detail" file. (However, from our *system's* point of view, we parse
that file and upload it into a Sql database. Don't worry about this;
I'll handle those details.)
So I just need the detail file to appear correct. Yes, I would rather
log "UserName and Realm". What I'm asking is *how*? Username doesn't
appear to strip off the Realm for accounting, even after a Rewrite; and
the Realm doesn't appear anywhere else in the accounting record. How can
I split them apart from within Radiator ?
Also, I'm still curious how the rest of you handle logging realms?
Thanks!
Dave

If you are using an SQL database, you can write whatever
AcctSQLStatements are
appropriate for your installation. If you would rather log UserName and
Realm
as you show above, that's fine.
