(RADIATOR) Session Database.

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Wesley -

The session database is used by the authentication to _check_ the user 
sessions.

The actual sessions in the session database are _maintained_ by the 
accounting.

Therefore both authentication and accounting _must_ access the same 
session database.

regards

Hugh

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