  FreeRADIUS doesn't close connections.  If it blocks users, it's
because it thinks the user is still logged in.

  It's stable.  Migrating to MySQL won't help.  A load of 80 logins
per day is tiny, and isn't a problem.

  I think the problem is that you're not clear why the server is
behaving the way it is.  Please explain *why* you think it's
"unstable" when someone tries to log in twice, and it rejects the
second attempt.  Why do you think the server "closes connections"?

  And the "no login record" issue is the fault of the NAS.  FreeRADIUS
is just logging what the NAS sends it.  See the FAQ.
