(RADIATOR) Needs expet's opinion

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello MJ -

For both of these applications you will need to run a cron job that 
checks the user accounts, disables the account (sets STATUS to 0 or 
whatever) and then disconnects the user using whatever method your NAS 
equipment supports.

You should do some experiments and some downloads to check what values 
you get back in the accounting requests.

Set up a test call and do a 1 megabyte download then disconnect - and 
then check the values sent by the NAS in the accounting stop.

BTW - you will probably need to enable interim accounting on your NAS 
equipment (also called accounting alives).

regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
