I have thrown together the following script for shuffling the detail
files once a month - run it as often as required - it only keeps 6 files.
The script uses a file '/etc/raddb/radius.routers'
which just lists the hostnames of the routers for which detail files
are shuffled.

for router in `cat /etc/raddb/radius.routers` ; do
	cd $root$router
	if [ ! -f detail ]; then
		echo "$router: detail file not shuffled - does not exist"
		continue
	fi


	if [ -f detail.5 ]; then
		if [ -f detail.6 ]; then
			echo "$router: detail.6 removed"
			rm detail.6
		fi
		mv detail.5 detail.6
	fi
	if [ -f detail.4 -a  ! -f detail.5 ]; then
		mv detail.4 detail.5
	fi
	if [ -f detail.3 -a  ! -f detail.4 ]; then
		mv detail.3 detail.4
	fi
	if [ -f detail.2 -a  ! -f detail.3 ]; then
		mv detail.2 detail.3
	fi
	if [ -f detail.1 -a  ! -f detail.2 ]; then
		mv detail.1 detail.2
	fi
	if [ -f detail.0 -a  ! -f detail.1 ]; then
		mv detail.0 detail.1
	fi


	if [ ! -f detail.0 ]; then
		mv detail detail.0
		echo "$router: detail file shuffled at `date`"
	else
		echo "$router: detail not shuffled - detail.0 exists"
	fi
done
