I would think changing the password is easier than fiddling simulataneous use. Normally when using encrypted passwords, we disable the account by prepending a ``*'' character to the encrypted password so now password will work. Then removing the ``*'' from the password enables the account easily. Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.

That's fine for radius, but doesn't solve the larger problem (e.g. POP/IMAP access and other things that depend on the password).

Re: Disabling User
We have a denyuser group and we move the username into, they are not allowed to dial up but it will allow them to check mail. If you dont want them to check mail I think the way you are doing it is easy and works.. byron - Original Message - From: "Devin Atencio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 11:11 AM Subject: Disabling User > > I was wondering if there was an easy way to disable a user so that if they > Try to dialup it would deny them access.
