radcheck vs radreply

[Graham Beneke]

I seem to have a conceptual misunderstanding of the radcheck and 
radreply tables - and all my googling has given me nothing solid to 
correct myself on.

Can someone explain the difference of the 2 and what their purpose in 
the system is.

My understanding it the radcheck is used to decide whether a user should 
have access to the NAS and values are then sent back from the results of 
these checks...
The radreply is then simply a list of properties/configuration 
attributes that are returned to the NAS is that specific user is authorised.

My confusion comes - though - due to the fact that when running a 
radtest on my server none of the radcheck attributes are being returned 
and the users are being allowed to do more than they should be as a result.
