Ok, so the other questions stand, but an update to say the problem is
the variable is not coming back to the default VS from the inner tunnel
which I didn't at first spot. I had this problem recently and couldn't
work it out : 
how do we copy control attributes from the inner tunnel to the outer in
PEAP or is it not possible..?
Thanks
Andy

Hi,
  Ok so I've played about and can get a decent failure reply from a
script based solution. 
Moving on to those NAS clients that actually do PEAP/MSCHAP .. I would
like to get a response when a failure occurs from them, but it seems
that Failure-Response-Message from the mschap isn't filled out. I've
done a test like :
Authenticate {
..
        Auth-Type MS-CHAP {
                mschap
 	if (ok) {
    	#
  	}
  	else {
     	if (Module-Failure-Message) {
	     	update reply {
			reply-message += "Failed NTLM auth"
		}
		reject
    		}
  	}
But the section never gets parsed - it goes straight to Post_auth reject
based on the mschap module itself returning code 1. So I put this in the
post_auth reject section :
if (Module-Failure-Message) {
        update reply {
                reply-message := "%{Module-Failure-Message}"
                }
        }
But Module-Failure-Message is empty;

++? if (Module-Failure-Message)
? Evaluating (Module-Failure-Message) -> FALSE
++? if (Module-Failure-Message) -> FALSE

Am I doing something wrong?
I also wondered if I could do something like use the mschap module with
a custom script, returning NT_KEY or a failure string, but then I've no
way to return the failure string because I assume the mschap module
doesn't let you populate variables based on the output like exec does -
there's no way of specifying output or input pairs for example.
I could ditch the mschap module completely, but then am not sure how I
would get all the mschap variables into a script and translate the
NT_KEY back. It seems a bit OTT just to get a failure response written
to the linelog/sql.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Andy

No, sorry. "mschap" does when it does the internal "exec", but the 
"exec" module does not. You might be able to emulate this by wrapping 
your script and echoing the VPs on stdout.

That's the default return codes - see doc/configurable_failover{,.rst}
