We see a problem with users being able to have more than one login session with the same user ID, even though we have set Shared Profiles = NO in our MAXen. As long as they don't hit the same MAX, they can get in as many times as they want - or they and their neighbors or friends can all use the same flat-rate account. We consider this to be a Bad Thing. There's really no way to "fix" this with RADIUS; everything we've looked at is either kludgy or unsafe or both. We also sell a "family plan", which allows up to five email boxes... but oly ONE login at a time is allowed. We got that covered by using the "User-Name" entry in the RADIUS users file (thanks, whoever suggested it - it works!). Same thing, though, now it's just limited to one user *per MAX*. So... why doesn't the Stacking feature allow the Shared Profiles setting to span the entire stack of n MAXen? As long as the MAX is asking the stack about MP bundling - why not ask if any of the stack members have the user name logged in already? Anyone got a better idea? Other than "Don't sell flat rate"? We all have to face our own harsh little realities, and cheap flat rate service is one of them here.
