IMO, I think it's just as well that Livingston hasn't tried adding
multiple login limits. The main problem is that there are probably about
as many variations to login limiting as there are people on this
list...so you can guarantee that even if they did add login limits, alot
of people wouldn't be happy with it.
I've personally found Portmasters to be pretty inflexible beasts...so I
think people are better off making up their own way to limit logins
rather than trying to adapt Livingston's way to what they want.

I think the idea someone recently posted about using pmwho and pmcmd to
check and boot users driven by a perl script is a really good way to go,
at least for the small to mid-sized ISP. The fact that it's external to
both radiusd and the PM's means you can modify it to your heart's content.
It also gives you the option of booting users, flagging them for double
billing, send automated hate mail, etc.
