Re: (ASCEND) Radius Oddity

[Richard Antecki <rantecki@shark.fishinternet.com.au>]

We've had no END of trouble with this.  People seem to be getting on with
garbage characters after their name, multiple words etc...

I originally thought it was a problem with my authentication mechanism (I
have patched Radius to auth off a Mysql database) but I've checked it and
the problem seems to occur somewhere deeper in the bowels of Radius.

I have just moved to Cistron Radius and the problem has disappeared.

Regards,

Richard
