RE: (PM) Duplicate Radius Detail Records

Please ignore previous posting. I have no idea what I was thinking; I can't
see how Choicenet would have anything to do with it...

I think I need a vacation.

Anyway, duplicate accounting records can be caused by a failure of the
Radius server to send or be able to deliver an accounting response packet.
The PortMaster keeps sending the accounting request until it gets an
accounting response.

Run Radius from the command line using '/etc/radiusd -x' to observe any
debug messages regarding the duplicate entries.
