  No.  Ignore the digest nonce.  It means nothing for you.

  That's why customizing an open source project is a *terrible* idea.
There's just no need for it.

  Well, ask the manufacturers.  We don't have that information, either.

  Use the stock version of FreeRADIUS.

  If you're using a customized version and getting paid to add features,
