Is anyone seeing duplicate entries in their RADIUS accounting file. We
seem to get on occasion (20 or 30 last month out of some 60,000
disconnect reccords) dual entries which have the same Acct-Session-Id.
I'm thinking it may be a lost ACK coming from RADIUS back to the PM
(perhaps a packet collision), which causes the PM to think the entry
wasn't received. (is there a 180 second timeout on this?)
On a related question, is there any possiblity that two PortMasters
would produce the same session ID in the period of a month. Is there
something about the way the ID's are created that prevents this?
