I fail to see how that is wrong. It *is* the NASes Calling Station identificator. What do you suggest a PPPoE concentrator should use? Yes, I know RFC 2865 says "phone number". But if fails to say anything about the situation where there is no originating phone number. So vendors use what they have. And port/vlan/mac is the best they can do unless they have some PPPoE intermediate agent information. Bjørn - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
