billing using radius

[Eric]

>
> Thanks parham,

I'm new in freeradius. could you please send me configs needed in freeradius
files?
I want to disconnect some users after receiving 8G and for others I want to
calculate base on KB that they have used rather than 8G.
In which file I should do changes?
