Hi Glen, What specific radius server are you using? Cistron radius and its derivatives has a built-in facility for checking and enforcing maximum simultaneous connections. Whenever a user is suspected of multiple logins, the radius server queries the NAS (usually by SNMP), to find out if the user is still connected. If it is still connected, radius then rejects the new login request. On the other hand, if the user is no longer connected, radius removes the user from its list of currently connected users, and then accepts the new login request. As for you other question about 'how to kick somebody's radius login', you can remove a user from radius' list of currently connected users using utilities like 'radzap', but that doesn't disconnect the user from the NAS. The method for actually kicking out a user's connection to a NAS varies depending on the NAS. With some NASes, you can do this through SNMP, with others you'd have to telnet/ssh into the NAS and issue a command to reset the port where the user is connected.
