(ASCEND) Radius Security Bug




For anyone who is using the Radius accounting files as a billing tool, this
may be of importance to you...

I just happened to be sitting and watching the terminal on the Max4048 this
morning and noticed a user getting logged in as "jdoe @nisa.net" (where
jdoe is, of course, the users name)...    This worked...

I then went into the radius accouting logs and found:
        User-Name = "jdoe @nisa.net"

However, if you parse your radius logs and take the username as-is, you
will obviously never see any time used by the user unless you parse the
User-Name field down from the space....
