Where did you find that it works with the users file? What do you mean by that exactly? rlm_counter keeps it's own database (in GDBM file) while configuration can be in the users file or in a db (sql/ldap). By configuration i mean per user limits. Keeping data in a gdbm file actually makes rlm_counter faster than sql in installations where many rows of accounting are kept for each user. rlm_counter is a stable module while rlm_sqlcounter is an experimental module without a maintainer (as far as i know).
