that's not true. According to RFC 2865 (that's the current one, right?):

This Attribute indicates the name of the user to be authenticated.
     It MUST be sent in Access-Request packets if available.

     It MAY be sent in an Access-Accept packet, in which case the
     client SHOULD use the name returned in the Access-Accept packet in
     all Accounting-Request packets for this session.

The guys running the Shivas argue that our RADIUS should use the session ID 
in order to match accounting requests to access requests. Could that be 
done with a rewrite function?
