  The code fix is wrong.  It won't do anything.

  You asked for help on this list.  We gave you help.  Rather than

  Nonsense.  You stated clearly that FreeRADIUS couldn't handle the

  The reason it's not making progress is that *you* broke the system,
and *you* are ignoring our advice.

  Cutting your leg off will stop the pain from a broken toe.

  That doesn't make it a smart thing to do.
