Thanks much Hugh! I'll give that a whirl.. I doubt my RADIUS client (NoCatAuth) will accept the reply attribute. FWIW, it re-authenticates every 8 minutes so once the user tries to re-authenticate after expiration, no m�s packets.. :)
Last may I ask what unit or format EXPIRY is? I'm thinking that Epoch time or some date/timestamp format would be nice.. What timelocal format does AuthSelect use or expect in EXPIRY?
