Fwd: (RADIATOR) Mode secure in radacct.cgi

Hello Henrique -

You could do what you describe, but it is usually better to keep the original 
accounting records and post-process the data. This is because it is possible 
to get duplicate accounting records, and it is preferable to keep the 
processing load inside Radiator to a minimum.

regards

Hugh
