I'm newbie here.
I haven't learned all capabilities of freeradius yet.
I just want to know what is the simplest way to
disallow 2 simultaneous sessions.
Are there any standard solutions?

I found (in source of rlm_sql), that checking is based on
analysis of accounting information.

What if 2 Access-Requests arrive "simultaneously"?
There is no accounting information available yet (it will
become available just after receiving Accounting-Start).
Hence it's not reliable to rely on accounting information only.
Am I right?

It seems to me that AAA and NAS may be not synchronized.
So, we need to contact NAS somehow to determine active
sessions and match them with accounting info.
Looks like very complex task :(
