*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

I am attempting to plug my FreeRADIUS servers CA certificate into my
Ubuntu client to validate that the sever is valid before authentication.
However, the client seems to ignore the CA certificate specified. I've
been able to successfully connect regardless of the certificate I have
chosen.

This is fairly serious if true, because a malicious FreeRADIUS server
could retrieve the MD4 hashes of passwords (easy to break) from the
client.

My install is 24 hours old, so still very vanilla.
