Hello Dave -
I don't know why your mails have not appeared on the list, and
Mike is away for a couple of weeks so I can't check with him why
not.
In answer to your question, yes the Disconnect-Request is what is
being refered to and yes you can use radpwtst to send a
Disconnect-Request to a NAS.
regards
Hugh
Hugh,
I've sent this to the list twice recently. Do you have any idea why it's not showing up? Is the attachment a problem?
Dave
