I think I heard "John A. Tamplin" say:

Aside from having to reconfigure the router everytime somebody logs on
or off? Other than having to have the Radius server run a script which
logs into the router and enables (assuming that you are using a Cisco)?
Ignoring the problems that Cisco's can have with changing access-lists
(especially under high load)? (the list could continue)  Other than all
those reasons, it would work just fine. :)

(okay - maybe I'm Cisco bashing and flaming, but I've seen far too many
service interruptions caused by changing access-lists to ignore the issue)
