Alan,
        I don't mean to question you really but I would just like to
have a better understanding of things.  Please don't take this the wrong
way.

        When you use edit the clients list in Radius there is a key or
password "test123" per clients, what does this really do?

        I understand that it can provide a simple auth for the NASes,
but does it not provide encryption?  Again I don't mean to question you,
but just a learning process.  Without question one can't progress in the
learning process.  Any information and advice would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you,
Thai
