MAX's running 5.0ap23 will sometimes send this type of accounting data 
to the radius accounting server.

The accounting data records 0.0.0.0 as the I.P. address assigned to that
users, (So this pretty much won't allow you track down abusive users) You
will not be able to match user to ip.

How? I don't see how they are affected, There is still and Start and Stop
recorded for each users, (And that is what ISP's bill on) This only
problem that I can see is that you can not track down abusive users.
