We have been thinking about adding state info too. (we're running our
own version of radiusd, so getting merit is not an option)
But can you get state info 100% correct? What happens when packets get lost?
What happens when a portmaster reboots? What happens when a session is stuck?
We'd add stateinfo only so we can limit the amount of times a user logs in.
But if that means users cant log in sometimes because the state isnt correct,
its not worth it.
