I am having a slight problem with radius. I allow users to change their passwords via the telnet shell
account. Problem is when a user changes his password, they can telnet in with their new password but
then when they dial in radius only knows the old password. I dont think radius caches users passwords
and user account but I tries to solve the problem with crontab. I still cam into a problem. I created a
cron file that looked like this.

0,20,40 * * * * killall radiusd.esva;/etc/raddb/radiusd.esva -s -p .ppp
This kills radius and restarts it every 20 minutes incase I am not there to restart it. Now this is what
a ps -uax shows

root 19619 0.0 1.9 824 612 p1 S 14:25 0:00 /etc/raddb/radiusd.esva -s -p .pp

Notice that it says .pp instead of ppp so it doesn't pass the .ppp for pap. I have tried several things.
Why thay hack wont it put that last p? Is there a cron command line limit or something?
