  Yes.  FreeRADIUS only knows what the NAS sends it.  If the NAS never 
tells FreeRADIUS that it rebooted, the server has no way of knowing that 
there are no users still on the NAS.

  checkrad *should* work if you have configured it.  And it doesn't 
work the way you think.

  If "radutmp" says that the user isn't logged in, he is allowed in.

  Otherwise, "checkrad" is run to ask the NAS if the user is logged in.

  If the user isn't logged in, then the entry in "radutmp" is deleted, 
and the user is allowed in.
