Kurt, Hugh,
 
We had a similar situation. When we fail to get our subscription fee, we don't want our customers be able to surf the Internet anymore (suing our Internet access service), but we do want them to use a "guest" account, they can use to dial-in but access only a single server, where they can check their status and read (webbased) email. I guess this is a very common problem.
If you have a big dial-in network, possibly shared, it's very difficult to manage ip-pools over all POPs. Sander Asberg suggested to tackle this problem like this:
 
<Realm>
    <AuthBy FILE>
        Filename    %D/guest.txt            # this file holds the "guest" account with (ascend) ip-data-filter
    </AuthBy>
</Realm>
<Realm DEFAULT>
    # simulate like the NAS added the name-value pair ('radiusProfile', '1')
    PreAuthHook    sub { ${$_[0]}-> add_attr('radiusProfile', '1'); }
    <AuthBy LDAP>
        Host        xxx
        ...         xxx
        CheckAttr   radiusCheck             # The val;ue of this attribute should match "radiusProfile=0"
    </AuthBy>
</Realm>
 
When we fail to get our money, the billing process simply changes the value of radiusCheck into "radiusProfile=0" and the user is not able to dialin using this account anymore. He/she can dialin using "guest" and access the service application.

I'm not sure how you would like this to work - could you provide more
details please?

If you are trying to have two different classes of users in the same
Radiator setup, many people set up two IP address pools on their NAS
equipment (with corresponding filters) and have the two classes of users
allocated from the two pools.
