Hi Tim -

The thing that I am not clear on is this:

> >             DBUsername radius

As I don't understand what is meant to happen with 'Service-Type = Login-User,
 Auth-Type = System'? I can't see any way that they would be returned as 
reply attributes, and indeed Auth-Type is not defined in the Radiator 
dictionary.

Any clarification would be helpful.

thanks

Hugh
