Dear List,
n EA I had 1800 for the idle-timeout. It was showing as 1800 in radiusNT
debug mode, but it was really 180. Acct termination was idle-timeout. I
finally remove the idle-timeout all together.
This happened after I add a session-timeout to the defaults. Should the
session timeout come before the idle timeout? Would this cause the problem?

First place you want to check is in Emerald Admin under defaults. Find
the service name those people are logging in under and check the
session-timeout value. If there isn't one there and there still being
kicked off then put one there with a value of 30000 which is over 8
hours.
