Hi,
Think I found an answer possibly.
I had to do some work on my 3com TC Hub and when it was brought back up and
after re-porting (not reporting) it, it was no longer accepting most of the
accounting packets. Users were not showing up in On-line or in the Calls for
Time Online. This is obviously critical for time billing so I dug a little
deeper.

Running RadiusNT in debug mode showed me that I was getting a great number of
refusal for duplicate packets in "pk_calls". Looking at the calls Table revealed
that it was indeed trhowing a great number of Account Session IDs into it.

I then learned how to use the Trim Feature in the Database Maintenance section
of Admin.
I trimmed at 1 month and poof, everyone is back.

Dale,
Could we get a description of what causes this so I can avoid it in the future?
Is it the re-porting or what?
