MS-CHAP-V2 with no retry

[John Hayward]

Any idea of the time frame?
Should I spend my time looking at the code and proposing a patch?

  It's more complicated.  The server would send EAP-Failure, and nothing
else.

  On closer inspection, the patch doesn't resolve anything.  It still
sends an EAP-Failure.  It should instead send an EAP-Response with
EAP-MSCHAPv2-Failure, and the "E=691 R=1" failure code.  After the
client has ACKed that, it should *then* send EAP-Failure.

  i.e. fixing it is likely a fair bit more work.

  No.  That sends back an MS-CHAP-Error.  The code has to package that
MS-CHAP-Error into an EAP sub-type, and send it back to the client in an
*additional* request/response round trip, before finally sending
EAP-Failure.
