Freeradius not always denying invalid users

[Chris Moss]

No, cache was not enabled. Just a thought on the denying, I thought 
maybe it just couldn't get a good result one way or the other so it 
would just allow it. Any other thoughts on would could be causing this 
issue? Like I said this only seems to be happening on dsl customers that 
constantly try to connect. Is there any other logs, configs, etc that 
would be of any help? I will try to get a debug of one that doesn't 
behave properly. Is there a way to make that debug log to the log file. 
So far it only outputs to terminal and it's very hard to capture it 
there, it it's in a log I should be able to get something worthwhile.
