Hugh,

Do you know where I could find one of the below mentioned scripts to run in
cron to scan the session table?

Hello Paul -

The "lost stop record" problem is in many ways directly due to the design of
the radius protocol, as it is based on UDP and records can and do go
missing.
There are also various NAS software bugs that can cause accounting packets
to
go missing as well.

Most operators tend to do their accounting based on stop records alone and
treat the lost records as operating overhead.

Note that you could do something with a cron job that scans the session
database and generates a stop record for any "stale" record and then deletes
it. This is not a standard Radiator feature however.

regards

Hugh
