Hi, I've set up a freeradius server for Netscreen VPN with Mysql 5.0.22 and freeradius 2.0.5, and radiusd service is runing well, I can connect the VPN, and everything seems to be ok. But we have a unique need to allow more than 1 pc to login the VPN with the same username at the same time. So the Problem is ---only 1 pc can login, if another pc login with the same username, the previous connection will logout automaticly. This sounds kind of strange 'cause I use no simultaneous-use limitation, and the Netscreen share-limit has been set upto 1000. I tried the following ways to solve this problem, but failed. 1. I stop the freeradius acct port (1813) listen, I thought this might stop the acct information feed back to netscreen (NAS). But it turn out to be that nobody can login. 2. I setup simul-use control with sql query, and I create a usergroup in mysql, join the username into this group, and set the Simultaneous-Use as 5 in radgroupcheck table for this group. But only 1 person can login. 3. I Doubt That whether the radutmp limit the login, then i comment everything about radutmp in radiusd.conf, default.conf etc. But the things turn out to be the same. Then I stop the sql simul-query, but hte same. One strange thing: no matter what simul-query ( sql or radutmp) I use, both the radlast and the radacct table log the session. I'm wondering: Besides sql and radutmp, something is doing the simul-use verify job? So i don't know where i've done wrong. Hope someone can help out. here is the radiusd -X result: [root@localhost ~]# radiusd -X FreeRADIUS Version 2.0.5, for host i686-pc-linux-gnu, built on Aug 22 2008 at 16:32:02 Copyright (C) 1999-2008 The FreeRADIUS server project and contributors.
