disable FreeRadius checking of client certs

    Well, I have not issued certs to clients. Some of my clients have the 
option to log in with a username "OR" a cert. However, there are a few 
random Linksys cards (I guess I should have mentioned this was for Wifi/WPA) 
that I "MUST" provide a username and a cert.

 If there are no certs on the client machine, Linksys fills the cert in with 
"Trust Any", so I assume it may be attempting with a blank? cert or another 
cert on the machine, such as VeriSign or the like.So this client is 
attempting to authenticate, I believe, with other certs on its machine 
because the radius log looks like below:


    Tue Oct 10 11:16:16 2006 : Error:     TLS_accept:error in SSLv3 read 
client certificate A

    Tue Oct 10 11:16:16 2006 : Error: rlm_eap_tls: BIO_read failed in a

    I am not a FreeRadius expert so I may be misinterpreting the logs. 
Thanks.
