The first thing to look at is a trace 4 debug from Radiator to see 
exactly what attributes are present in the access requests and the 
accounting requests. This is because it is these attributes that are 
used for session database maintenance in the first instance. The NAS 
check is a followup check that occurs after the access request is 
received, so you need to check the contents of the access request 
first.
