We are implementing 802.1x authentication with MAB (Mac Address Bypass) on our Cisco switches and are getting some freeradius errors.  Just as a note, when using MAB the username and password given to radius is the MAC address of the device (workstation, server, printer, etc) that is attempting to connect to the network.  The authentication succeeds, but I'm wondering what these errors mean and if they can be fixed.  Here is a sample of the radius.log.

Thanks in advance for any help I can get.
