8) depending on situation, these multilogins could be denying service to
your other lusers.. Thus kicking them all off would bring back resources..

Besides don't you get more points for taking them all down rather then
leaving one to reproduce?

This is possible... though could you script you thing to add a static ip
login for multiple logon abusers to the RADIUS user file? Ugh, maybe a
