as a check item - you wont have two passwords in a request. if there
was such a condition then it would be sorted.

yep - dont worry, the typo also crept into the WIKI

http://wiki.freeradius.org/Operators

EXAMPLES

bob Cleartext-Password := "hello" 

Requests containing the User-Name attribute, with value "bob", will be authenticated using the password "bob". There are no reply items, so the reply will be empty. 


should be

EXAMPLES

bob Cleartext-Password := "hello" 

Requests containing the User-Name attribute, with value "bob", will be authenticated using the password "hello". There are no reply items, so the reply will be empty.

its good to have a new proof reader on board! ;-)
