Your NAS is broken. Knowing that doesn't help much, but your NAS is
definitely broken.

How? The default configuration of the server includes User-Name in
the unique ID calculation. So unless you've edited the configuration to
*remove* that, I don't see how its possible.

Why? I don't understand.

The whole point of the unique ID created by the acct_unique module in
FreeRADIUS is to have *it* create the unique ID's. Hacking extra keys
on top of it is pointless work.

Your NAS is broken. It happens.

i.e. It's likely working as the manufacturer intended, but not as the
customer needs.

Post the "key" for the acct_unique module. Explain how two different
User-Names can result in the same key.
