This reminds me of something I forgot to mention in my previous message.
There's a radius server called Radiator which maintains a current- calls database for concurrency checking; it updates it with the accounting-start & stop records. To alleviate problems with lost packets causing it to get out of sync, it periodically checks the hub via SNMP and compares who's really on with who it thinks is logged on.
Vircom (www.vircom.com) makes a proxy radius sever that does the same thing. It allows us to use multiple unix radius servers that all get queried by the proxy radius server. Also a list of users currently online can be viewed from a browser as can all login errors such as simultaneous logins or bad passwords. As with Radiator, SNMP is used to maintain an up to date list of users. This product has worked very well for us. Happy New Year! You may have survived the Y2K crisis...
