Hi!

Regarding your discussion on this matter, I would like to make
an suggestion:

Why don't authors of RADIUS and ComOS implement some sort of synchronisation
between the client and the server on the accounting issues. Only thing
that I think that should be syncronised is the "Session ID". So
when the PM (RADIUS client) reboots, it sends info like: "Hey! I've
just rebooted, where was I?", then the server says "Oh, just a sec
... Here you go: Last-Acct-Session-ID = "000EAF6D". ".

When the server reboots (RADIUS restart), it should either ask client
about the "Last-Acct-Session-ID" or to have it somewhere in its records.

Cheers,

Ranko
