Hi to all,
in a previous verison of freeradius I use the acct_users file to
launch a python script after login/logout of a user.
the acct_users was so:
DEFAULT         Acct-Status-Type == "Start"
               Exec-Program = "/etc/freeradius/SCRIPT/userlogin.py
%{User-Name}"
DEFAULT         Acct-Status-Type == "Stop"
               Exec-Program = "/etc/freeradius/SCRIPT/userlogout.py
%{User-Name}
Now with freeradius 2.0.4 this acct_users doesn't work.
How can launch a script after a login and a logout?
You will need to use the "exec" module:

DEFAULT	Acct-Status-Type == "Start"
	Tmp-String-0 = "%{exec:/etc/freeradius/SCRIPT/userlogin.py}"

  That will also cause the script to execute immediately.  Or, you can
use "unlang":

accounting {
	...

	if (Acct-Status-Type == Start) {
		update reply {
			Tmp-String-0 = "%{exec:/etc/freeradius/SCRIPT/userlogin.py}"
		}

	}
}
