Since you mentioned rlm_sql, it *does* have something to do with FreeRADIUS,
doesn't it?

So you seem to consider rethinking your own assumptions a waste of time?

Then you could have told him *exactly that* in your very first mail,
couldn't you?

I didn't say that, did I? Please refrain from "adding" statements to my
original mail by interpreting it. When in doubt, please ask (instead of
making inappropriate assumptions).

You surely did. (I didn't question your effort.)

I decided to step in because IMHO it's inappriopriate to assume things one
doesn't know or hasn't asked for (like whether the OP really was "too lazy"
for RTFM or RTFW). It's just not a good way of treating people, that's all.

(Besides, maybe I'm not the only with this opinion who's subscribed to this
list? Ever thought about that?)

Greetings,
