Please consider this for a future revision of ComOS. The necessary changes
to the radius daemon are very basic (just XOR-ing the md5 digest multiple
times instead of once). I suspect the same to be true for ComOS.
Am I begging the right person?
We'd very much like to offer this service to our customers. All other services
on our UNIX system requiring authentication, like login and ftp, support very
long passwords.
Thanks for your time,
