Thanks Mark,
So there're 4 places in RadiusNt where I can define
the session length: TimeLeft (SubAccounts), MaxSessionTime (ServerPorts),
MaxSessionLength (ServerAccess) and any Session-Timeout attribute
(RadConfigs/RadATConfigs). And RadiusNt sends back in reply packet
the _lowest_ value of above 4 time lengths. Yes?
What is format (minutes/seconds) of each these values?
