Problem using exec module

[Mitchell, Michael J]

Hi Nan0,

The authorize section of radiusd.conf is actually run twice when an
Access-Request is received by the server.

The first time, Autz-Type is not set. During the first run through the
authorize section, one of the modules may set Autz-Type, for example, a
module may set Autz-Type to MY_AUTZ_TYPE. 

The second time through the authorize section only modules contained
within the subsection defined by the Autz-Type variable will be run. eg:

	Autz-Type MY_AUTZ_TYPE {
		echo
	}

Hope that helps,
Mike
