Hi,

        Okay, after spending half the night messing with ODBC and NT, I
finally have our BSDI Radiator server talking to Rodopi on an NT box.

        Now, there's another interesting problem that maybe someone knows
what's up.  First, let me explain our setup:

3Com Total Control (HiPer ARC) - talks to Radiator on BSDI

BSDI+Radiator - by default, authenticates users through the system
  password file, except for one realm which is our Rodopi test realm
  To talk to Rodopi we use dbi:ODBC:Rodopi and the OpenLink ODBC
  drivers.  The ODBC drivers work fine, I can connect to the SQL db
  on the NT server from UNIX.

Rodopi (NT4+MSSQL7) - WinNT4 SP6a, MS-SQL7 SP3, Rodopi 5.1, nothing
  really odd or bizzare except the LAN it's on (temporarily at my
  house) is connected using a 56K modem -- BUT, I do have *public* IPs
  routed out here and working.  (I've had my Linux mail/web server here
  for several months.)

        Anyway, when I try to authenticate from the 3Com server under the
Rodopi realm, it *always* accepts me, no matter what username and password
I supply.  It takes a few seconds, but that's probably very likely to the
fact that the Rodopi machine is out here on my 56K modem for a few days.
I can also dial in from another machine to the 3Com and authenticate with
any user/passwd under that realm and get a PPP session.

        Hopefully someone can help me clear this up.  I'm (as my .sig
says) more talented in UNIX than in NT.  I figure someone out there has
probably run into this before and could explain what's causing it.

                Jeremy
