David I have seen this discussion also on the chillispot list, and as you correctly point out there are several vendors who use this value reversed which is very very stupid. Let me assure you that all commercial equipment I have personally come across uses it they way the RFC specifies. (ie from the point of view of the NAS) I think chillispot/coovachilli should default to the RFC behaviour (even if you provide a switch for interop with broken billing systems) and anyone who has broken NAS with FreeRADIUS can either request a firmware upgrade from their vendor or work around the brokenness with some FreeRADIUS configuration. (It may be usefull for someone to document how to work around this with a regexp or SQL config..) Cheers -- Peter Nixon http://peternixon.net/ - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
