Peter, All I have to say is that your attitude normally determines the response you get. You came in here telling many people who have worked with RADIUS for a long time how the specs are wrong and how you are much better than they. This is a fatally flawed approach when trying to learn something. Now you are simply arguing semantics with people in an attempt to save face. RADIUS is truly not a complicated protocol. Why are you arguing over things that truly don't matter in the grand scheme? You started out by making assumptions based on previous experience that were not correct. You then attempted to blast RADIUS when your assumptions turned out to be incorrect. Poor etiquette.
Based on your original message, you still have a lot of reading and understanding to do before making any more posts to this list. I would imagine that you have already taken a look at the users file and the "man 5 users" page, however assumptions are what got you in the position you are in now. So, start there, attempt to understand what it is you're dealing when, and come back to us when you have something more intelligent to contribute or ask. --Mike On Sat, 2004-12-04 at 19:41, Peter T.
