to give more details here ...

Indeed, the acc can do recording to multiple backends in parallel: 
syslog, sql server, radius and diameter (this is more or less 
unmaintained) -- where is done actually, is given by module's 
parameters. By default, acc module is compiled only with syslog and sql 
backends support. The reason, as Julien said, radius support will 
introduce a dependence of libradiusclient-ng which is not available as 
package in all OS supported by openser.

There are discussions to eliminate this dependency by having a new 
module as driver to communicate with radius server, and the other 
modules to use a generic interface exported by this module. Same is for 
SQL backends, there are drivers specific per implementation (now: mysql, 
postgres, unixodbc) -- the modules that need access to SQL servers do 
not depend on client libraries.

Now it is late to get it in upcoming 1.3, so it is postponed for the 
following release.

Cheers,
Daniel
