<div dir="ltr">Alan,<br><br>John Maher at the first post asked if there is any resource that is particularly good at explaining how radius and its config files really works. I want just to ask it again, if possible, it there is any thread or link illustrating how all files in /etc/radb interact to each other.<br>

</div> I'd make the change in 2.1.10, if at all. It's a relatively rare<br>
problem compared to other issues seen regularly on the list.<br>
