In the last two days I have found one occurrence of "com.apple.systemdefault"

We run both Meru and Cisco going through Freeradius.

It was coming from a Cisco controller and was a Stop accounting record.  I was 
unable to find a corresponding Start record yet.

We have not noticed this before, but may have happened.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Strange Apple 802.1x Client Names

Not quite sure what to make of this yet. If anyone is running an 802.1x secure 
wireless network, can you search your wireless management systems for wireless 
clients called either of these:


com.apple.kerberos.kdc

com.apple.systemdefault


we have a handful of these that are authenticating as valid user names in our 
Cisco wireless/ACS environment. We only auth against AD, and we typically see a 
mix of "real" usernames in log that will somehow correlate to these, but at the 
same time it's weird that these funky names are showing as valid usernames both 
in the WLAN system and in ACS.

Web searching shows that these are some kerfuffle to do with obsolete keychain 
certs in the Apple OS.

Wild and weird- anyone been here before?
