Yes this is normal - most NAS's will send some sort of indication when they
start up that they are available. Some also send periodic notification that
they are still available and online. This is what you are seeing.

You will have to check the Tigris documentation to see what the correct reply
attribute is to let the user negotiate their own IP address.

Again, you will have to check the Tigris documentation.

Sure - check the Request-Type attribute to see if it is an Access-Request or an
Accounting-Request. Note that this is a patch to Radiator 2.14.1:
http://www.open.com.au/radiator/downloads/patches-2.14.1/patches.README
6/9/99 Rolled the AddToReplyIfNotExist.patch into the base code. This code
was contributed by Vincent Gillet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, and implemnets
the AddToReplyIfNotExist parameter, which will append an attribute
to a reply if and only if it the attribute is not already present.
Also added new check item Request-Type. This is mostly useful
in Handlers, to allow you to trigger on different types of
requests.
Download AuthGeneric.pm and AttrVal.pm from here.
