That's good to know. What seems odd, though, is that it resends the same
request in quick, sub-second succession (based on the RADIUS server logs).
This case has a single RADIUS server at a single IP and a single secret that
works when the correct password is sent (and only 1 log entry), but a wrong
entry is 3 failures.

The module will re-send the request if it doesn't get a response from
the RADIUS server.  Or, if the response is sent from the wrong IP (i.e.
the RADIUS server has multiple IP's).  Or, if the shared secret is
incorrect.
