OK, now I've understood that it's a NAS "problem". ( Maybe my bad knowledge of english language is guilty for that - sorry ).
Lewis suggested that I sponsor your project... well I would if I really needed this feature so badly ;) and since I am just only a student, I might try hacking the freeradius code. In my scenario, I use Poptop and RP-PPPoE server as NAS ( by the way ). Alan should I write a patch for 1.0.5 or should I wait for 1.1.0, or just take the daily from CVS?

I just want to > limit it for a session As I was trying to say that in general, you CANNOT do this. You can check if they're over the limit at the START of a session. The NAS will *not* check the limit during a session, and the server can't check the limit during a session. So if they're under the limit at the start of the session, they can go over during the session, and no one will notice. This has NOTHING to do with changing the limits during a session. > 3. freeradius returns Session-Octets-Limit with the value from sqlcounter > which is the actual limitation. If the NAS supports this, it may work. But 99.9999% of the NASes do NOT support this. It's not a standard, and it's not a common vendor extension to RADIUS. > Alan, I think you are far more better programmer then I am.

I'd rather see a patch that works. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
