multiOTP - /etc/freeradius/policy.conf[33]: Expecting section start brace '{' after "else if"

[Timothy]

Hello, Matthew, and thank you very much.

I had installed FreeRADIUS on this Ubuntu server using apt-get, I guess
2.1.12 is the latest they have there. The site recommends using the Ubuntu
package, but since that is the latest, I built the packages.

I changed the "else if" to "elsif" and it worked fine.  I tried to change
the HowTo to reflect this, but it did not like any of my OpenID attempts at
authentication :|

Again, thank you very much!
