Elias and Hugh, Thanks for your responses. We had though about this but what we are getting is a Start Accounting packet (captured from radstock):
NAS-IP-Address Len 6 XX.XX.XX.XX NAS-Port-Id Len 6 111 NAS-Port-Type Len 6 Async Acct-Status-Type Len 6 Start Acct-Delay-Time Len 6 75841 Acct-Session-Id Len 12 "432625102*" Acct-Authentic Len 6 Local Idle-Timeout Len 6 0 Ascend-Modem-PortNo Len 6 21 Ascend-Modem-SlotNo Len 6 7 Ascend-Modem-ShelfNo Len 6 1 Calling-Station-Id Len 12 "2122859024" Called-Station-Id Len 6 "1111" What is strange is the "Acct-Autentic" (Local?) and the "Acct-Delay-Time" (over 21 hours). We believe this is definitely a local RAS issue but are not sure what it could be. It's almost as if the RAS has a HUGE backlog of old accounting which it is trying to re-send but only sends a portion of the full information. We did set "acct-drop-stop-on-auth-fail = no" to no avail. mahesh -----Original Message----- From: Elias [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 11:10 PM To: Mahesh Neelakanta Cc: Hugh Irvine Subject: Re: (RADIATOR) NULL usernames in Radius Packets *********************** Your mail has been scanned by TMnet VirusWall. *********************** Hi Mahesh, We've had the same thing happen to us before. Its actually a configuration on the tnt boxes. If I remember correctly it will send an Stop accounting packet with a blank username if the line gets dropped prematurely (before a proper connection gets established). - Elias - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Irvine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mahesh Neelakanta" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 6:41 AM Subject: Re: (RADIATOR) NULL usernames in Radius Packets > *********************** > Your mail has been scanned by TMnet VirusWall. > *********************** > > > > Hello Mahesh - > > Unless you are using a RewriteUsername, Radiator does not do anything > with the username.
