Hi Jeffrey

As it would turn out I was reading RFC 3576 yesterday and added support for=
=20
CoA and Disconnect packets to pyrad (A python RADIUS library not part of th=
e=20
=46reeRADIUS project, but written by Wichert who is one of the FR developer=
s=20
also)

radiusd does not currently respond to or natively send CoA or Disconnect=20
packets however radclient DOES suport them. This means that you can quite=20
happily write an exec/perl/python module which executes radclient (or uses=
=20
the pyrad library) to send CoA or Disconnect packets.. Please read my threa=
d=20
titled "RADIUS Disconnect support" on the freeradius-devel list which=20
started on Tuesday this week for a little more dicussion of how I think thi=
s=20
could be added natively to radiusd...

If you have any further suggestions please reply to that thread..
