[freeside] Session Monitor

[Donald Greer]

   Jesse,
   If you aren't overly committed to the radius server you are using, 
move to IC Radius.  It's integration with FS is well documented, and it 
has an interface to do exactly that query.  It also has some interesting 
features like a hard-limit on the amount of time a user can be online 
(per day, per month, etc.)
   Pretty damned cool.  I hope to move there myself ... after some 
serious planning ... I'm pretty committed to the Cistron feature set at 
the moment.
