I suppose - but doesn't Cistron cost money? Making a hack to
RADIUS may not be the best (bulletproof) solution, but it is good enough
for many applications, I would think. Any errors in the multi-login
detection can be made to be in the user's favor. Again, not bulletproof,
but a damn sight better than not having any protection at all. (And it's
free!)

I'd be interested in hearing about how others have accomplished
this (via email, unless it has call to interest the whole list, of
course).
