(RADIATOR) Something for the Wish List
Hi folks, I would like to propose a 'feature' to add to the Radiator wishlist. How about a feature where, if a customer is not permitted more than one simultaneous login, that the system allows the second connection to connect, but also drops the first connection. This will have two benefits to my specific case... 1. If a subscriber was logged in at work then went home but forgot to disconnect from work, he can still connect when he gets home without having to get us to drop his other connection. (less support requests = happy customer = happy support staff = happy manager!) 2. 'Leechers' who buy unlimited access accounts then share them with friends will be booted off whenever they break the rules. (less leechers = got the bastards = more profit = happy manager!!) Perhaps a post-auth hook or something could do this. The actual disconnect process would be NAS dependant but I am sure it could be done. Regards, Brian Morris (somewhat happy) Manager, NetSpeed === Archive at http://www.open.com.au/archives/radiator/ Announcements on [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, email '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' with 'unsubscribe radiator' in the body of the message.

That would open a really bad DOS attack. Bret Brian Morris wrote: Hi folks, I would like to propose a 'feature' to add to the Radiator wishlist.

Re: (RADIATOR) Something for the Wish List
I don't see how (but I would love to find out) If they must first authenticate successfully before we boot the other one off then I can't see how it would cause a DOS. If I am missing something please correct me - It wouldn't be the first time :-) Regards, Brian - Original Message - From: Bret Jordan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Brian Morris [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 1:46 PM Subject: Re: (RADIATOR) Something for the Wish List That would open a really bad DOS attack.

Re: (RADIATOR) Something for the Wish List
Hello Brian - You could probably implement this with a PreClientHook to do what you describe. There are some example hooks in the file goodies/hooks.txt. regards Hugh On Thursday, Aug 28, 2003, at 13:06 Australia/Melbourne, Brian Morris wrote: Hi folks, I would like to propose a 'feature' to add to the Radiator wishlist.
