Hugh,

After communicating with the other RADIUS server vendor, I enabled 
"UseExtendedIds". The other RADIUS server was seeing different transactions as 
duplicates based on Packet ID's. Enabling Extended Id's seems to have resolve 
the issue.

Hello Neil -

In this case what is usually happening is the target RADIUS server is slow to 
respond, your RADIUS server sends a retransmission, the first reply comes back 
from the target which is processed normally, then finally the reply to the 
retransmission comes back and it is marked as "unknown reply" because the 
previous reply has already been processed.

The "Bad authenticator" indicates an incorrect shared secret.

regards

Hugh
