specify a set of usernames up to or following the first delimiter
character—either an at sign (@) or a period (.). (For details, see “User

method4
At least one of up to four methods that WSS Software uses to process
accounting records. Specify one or more of the following methods in
priority order. If the first method does not succeed, WSS Software tries
the second method, and so on.
A method can be one of the following:
• local—Stores accounting records in the local database
on the WSS. When the local accounting storage space is
full, WSS Software overwrites older records with new
ones.
• server-group-name—Stores accounting records on one
or more Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service
(RADIUS) servers. You can also enter the names of
existing RADIUS server groups as methods.
