I got tired of staring at those "empty" accounting records, and just modified my radius daemon to ignore start records with no USER parameter. The max sends these a _lot_, usually on _every_ call, when the modem goes off hook (I believe) because we almost always see an auth request on that port a few seconds later. The max is saying "Hey, whatever was going on on port XXXXX is gone". :-) Later, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe Portman - Alternate Access Inc.
