My question is the following:
I have a MT with several connected users using RADIUS authentication. I do accounting of users using a DBMS. This day I have to reboot this MT owing to maintenance.
What does it happens with these RADIUS users? Obviously the user are disconnected, but Does MT send the Stop request to my RADIUS server?
If MT does not send it automatically, is there any solution in MT for sending the stop request before MT reboot?
Thanks,

You can turn off accounting before you reboot - the NAS should send a Accounting OFF query (dont know if MT does), which will tell radius to close all open accounting sessions from the NAS.
IN all honesty however, I don’t see what the problem is if it doesn’t. Radius will go through great lenghts to make sure a session is active before rejecting a login (simultanous use). If it does detect a stale connection, it will close the session automatically.
There is also radzap - which will close any stale sessions.
There is also general nightly maintenance on your DBMS which could close stale sessions if it has been inactive for to long…
