Thank you.   there are a lots of way of preventing a user from being authenticated or authorized from freeradius+mysql implementation. you may add a column or you may not. one funny way that will work with freeradius+MySQL is you can make  "User-Password" attribute under radcheck table to be "UserS-Password" attribute, which is unknown to freeradius, the user cannot in any way be authenticated regardless of groups or authentication type. you may try "Auth-Type" attribute to be "Auth-TypoError", and see how it works :) freeradius is fun specially when you get your feet wet with it! more to google and search the list, it has been reposted too! //milver
