(RADIATOR) DefaultSimultaneousUse 1 problem

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Rob -

The problem is not with Realms or Handlers, but rather with the AuthBy  
RADIUS clause which does not use DefaultSimultaneousUse (the actual  
code is in Radius/AuthGeneric.pm).

Perhaps you could give me a bit more detail on what you want to do?

regards

Hugh
