Dear Alan D. Thanks for guidelines. exactly, as you stated I simple want to store MAC address somewhere & compair against the request. Can they be in "radcheck"? Would you recommend that? or seperate table? Storing MAC in radcheck, would it be correct terminology? Secondly, i would have list of maximum 500 MACs, how about listing them in a file. Would it be considerably slow reading from file than DB? I have no idea because I never used radius with files. Thanks Alan De. for your support ever Regards --RM
