(RADIATOR) Radius accounting

Hello Nuno -

If you are not receiving the accounting data from the access points it  
is a problem on the access point and you should check with Cisco for a  
fix.

The debug log shows that you are receiving the accounting requests, so  
I don't think your theory is correct.

regards

Hugh

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