We do windows accounting via a small program which runs in background on
every client and reports logon and logoff times to a daemon process. This
daemon writes the information into an mysql database that is also used by
a parallel running radiusd. This way has the advantage that you don't have
to worry about a lot of false entries which would appear if you log every
auth attempt. I'll mail this stuff if this is what you are looking for.
