Authentication Responses during error conditions

[Doug Hardie]

I am a bit confused now.  I understood that if a module returns  
RLM_MODULE_FAIL that radiusd would not return an authorization  
reject.  However, it appears that it still does.

rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1:53579, id=193,

         User-Name = "visitor"
         User-Password = "asdfjkle"
         Called-Station-Id = "8053342021"
         Calling-Station-Id = "3232546586"
rad_lowerpair:  User-Name now 'visitor'

zool# ./visitor
Received response ID 193, code 3, length = 20


 From radiusd.conf:

#  Authorization. First preprocess (hints and huntgroups files),
authorize {
         preprocess
         files
         lafn
}
