(RADIATOR) Code Snippet for Hourly Limitation on an End-User and/or Proxy

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Mike -

All you need is a reply item containing a Session-Timeout attribute set to 
the number of seconds that the user has left for the month. 

There is an example of how to do this in the file "goodies/radmin.cfg" - you 
would do the same sort of thing in an <AuthBy SQL> clause.

regards

Hugh
