Which has now happened for my client ;-)

Anyway, fair enough.

My fix is to create a time capsule for the client. Clone the RADIUS  
server VM, revert the clone to the previous version of FreeRADIUS...  
and tell the client to talk to that server.

This incident triggered a somewhat aggressive EOL of the machine in  
question anyway :-)

Greetings,
