  This pretty much a FAQ, and a misunderstanding of what the RADIUS
server does.  The server does NOT "generate" any accounting records.
It logs whatever the NAS sends it.

  So if your NAS sends the kind of records you want, then you can
configure the server to log them into a detail file, or anything else
you want.
