Are you seeing any errors or messages in your logfile or -x15 debug
mode?
Also, if its just an occasional burp of the accounting (and not just
a complete stop of all accounting), you might want to update your
trigger (the one I keep posting to the list). It resolves an issue
with PMs where they send accounting in REVERSE chronological order,
and RadiusNT thinks the oldest user (not the newest) is still on-line.
The next trigger only updates the calls-online if the record is
infact newer than the one its about to replace.
