# acct\_users(5)

user accounting file for the FreeRADIUS server

## NAME

acct\_users - user accounting file for the FreeRADIUS server

## DESCRIPTION

The **acct\_users** file resides in the radius database directory, by default **/etc/raddb**.  It contains a series of configuration directives which are used by the *files* module to decide how to log accounting messages.

The format of this file is identical to that of the **users** file, except that it controls the response to accounting requests, not authentication requests.

## FILES

/etc/raddb/acct\_users

## SEE ALSO

[**radclient**(1)](/radclient/1.md), [**radiusd**(8)](/radiusd/8.md), [**dictionary**(5)](/dictionary/5.md), [**users**(5)](/users/5.md)
