Last I heard, you could NOT dynamically add NASs without restarting clients.conf as NAS entries are only read once on startup. Has this changed? Yes, FreeRADIUS will now load clients dynamically from clients or from a database, or an LDAP directory, or off a 5 1/4 floppy, a usb key shaped like a humping dog, or just about any other storage medium.
Even if this has not changed, the advantages of storing NASs in a table is pretty significant. make changes, call quick restart script, done. Well it has changed. In fact it changed in 08/09. It's now, add client to SQL database, wait client to send packet, wooo client automagically added. You can even remove them using the radiusd control socket without restarting the server.

- List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html I'm very glad to hear about these changes, and may be implementing them in the near future (note to alan DeKok: I'm not the OP. I only responded to this recently.) Also, I own the USB key shaped like a humping dog. It doesn't have any storage space and is just a decorative humping dog for your computer. Unless they've made a new version since I purchased mine.
