   The server comes with a file "doc/Simultaneous-Use".

  It's in it's own section, called "session" for historical reasons.

  None of that matters.

1. Can the user get authenticated at *all*?

2. Have you set 'Simultaneous-Use = 1' for the user?

3. Is the server receiving ANY accounting packets?

4. After the user gets authenticated, does FreeRADIUS receive accounting
packets for that user?

5. Is the radutmp / sql module logging those accounting packets?

6. Do the accounting packets have enough information to uniquely
identify a session?  i.e. no "NAS-Port = 0" for all users

7. Is the nas_type in the "client" configuration set to a known NAS,
where the server can double-check logins?

7. When the user logs in a second time, does FreeRADIUS even try
Simultaneous-Use checking?

  The configuration is composed of a set of interlocking pieces.  They
ALL have to be configured correctly for Simultaneous-Use to work.  Some
of the problems can be due to the NAS, which misbehaves.
