If you look at the Identifier in the two Stop requests the first one ahs an
Identifier of 2 and the second has an Identifier of 3. What this means is
that they are not retransmissions of a duplicate packet but two seperate
accounting requests for the same session. This is a bug in your NAS.
The quickest way around this that I can think of is to make a unique key of
the ACCTSESSIONID in the RADUSAGE table so that a Stop record can only be
recorded once for any given session. Then reverse the order of your AuthBy
SQL statements so that the RADUSAGE query fires first and if it fails the
RADUSERS query will not be executed. If you post your config file I'm sure
someone on the list can give more specific reccomentations.

Subject: (RADIATOR) Double Accounting Stops - How to ignore one?
Somehow or rather, once in a while, we get two (double) Accounting Stops
from some NASes.
It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it will cause problems as we're
running a prepaid system that deducts time and bandwidth from the user's
time/bandwidth bank.
Once this happens, a user's actual prepaid time/bandwidth will be double
deducted.
Is there a way to get Radiator to ignore one of the Accounting Stops?
If yes, how do we go about configuring Radiator to only utilize one
Accounting Stop instead of both when it happens?
Thanks in advance!
