> have already been down that road with some ISDN people.

> It's a near random thing. We have never had a user complain of
> it more than once. When they call saying that they can't get on
> we can see that the reason is Over Login in the radius logs.
> When I check the CallsOnline table, it shows they have a AcctStatusType
> of 2, so they should be logged out. The Calls table also echo's
> this. I check the NAS (an Ascend TNT) and it does not show the
> user online either.
>
> So for all intensive purposes it looks like this user should be able
> to log on. The last time a user called in about this, I tried using
> radlogin to simulate a login from them, and I kept getting Time Outs.
> I would get timeouts on any name I used. I stopped and started up
> RadiusNT and the problem went away.

> Has anyone experienced this problem? Could it have something to do

> time?

> Any wild speculations would be greatly appreciated.
