(RADIATOR) radonline maintenance

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Mariano -

The delete that is done when an Auth request is received is done for 
preventative maintenance to remove stale records.

If you want different behaviour for authentication and accounting, you 
should use Handlers.

# define SessionDatabase's

<SessionDatabase SQL>
	Identifier SQLSDB
	.....
</SessionDatabase>

<SessionDatabase NULL>
	Identifier NULLSDB
	....
</SessionDatabase>

# define Handlers

<Handler Request-Type = Accounting-Request>
	SessionDatabase SQLSDB
	......
</Handler>

<Handler>
	SessionDatabase NULLSDB
	.....
</Handler>

regards

Hugh
