Yes, but where does that time zone information come from? It's not in the RADIUS request. So you've got to divide your users into different time-zone specific groups, which is hard. > I don't think the current code will support this: No, it doesn't. > I'm not much of a C programmer, but I guess I could give it a shot.

How would you allow one user to move? i.e. They're only allowed in on Mondays, but if they fly from the U.S. to Japan, they should be allowed in on Mondays on Japan time, not on U.S. time. The only thing I can think of here is to have NAS-specific checks in the 'users' file, which adds a timezone attribute, depending on where the NAS is. The Login-Time attribute checks can then grab the time zone attribute, and use it to calculate their time. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
