Have a look at the 'idled' port (/usr/ports/sysutils/idled) for getting rid of
people when there idle, and I beleive it will also stop mulitple PPP logins by
the same person?

The way I temporarily disable an account is to run vipw, find the account in
the password file - and add a '*' as the _first_ character of their
password... Be careful you don't corrupt their actual password, as there
one-way encrypted...

If they have a '*' as their first character they cannot log in...

That's a lot of questions, perhaps a little beyond the scope of FreeBSD-ISP
(which is for mainly FreeBSD related topics to do with ISP'ing) - maybe
someone will offer some advice though... We don't run Radius here as a server,
so I can't really comment...
