RADIUS 2.0 on Linux 2.0.xx

I recently tried to upgrade to RADIUS 2.0. Unfortunately, I was not
successful.

I was using the precompiled Linux binary on Linux 2.0.24. It seems that
suffix doesn't work as I thought it would. It requires a space between the
username and the suffix. I have included session listings and the relevant
portions of the users file below.

At this URL <http://www.livingston.com/Tech/Docs/RADIUS/guide/4user.shtml>

It says this:
>DEFAULT Auth-Type = System, Suffix = "%slip"
> Framed-Protocol = SLIP,
>
>If bob specified a username of bob%slip, the RADIUS server would configure
>bob's connection using the settings in the DEFAULT entry.

I don't see a space in bob%slip, so I thought it would work.

Has anyone else run into this problem?

----------- Users file (relevant portions) --------------

DEFAULT Password = "UNIX"
User-Service-Type = Framed-User,
Framed-Protocol = PPP,
Framed-Address = 255.255.255.254,
Framed-Netmask = 255.255.255.0,
Framed-Routing = None,
Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobsen-TCP-IP,
Framed-MTU = 1500,
Session-Timeout = 28800

DEFAULT Auth-Type = System, Suffix = ".ppp"
User-Service-Type = Framed-User,
Framed-Protocol = PPP,
Framed-Address = 255.255.255.254,
Framed-Netmask = 255.255.255.0,
Framed-Routing = None,
Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobsen-TCP-IP,
Framed-MTU = 1500,
Session-Timeout = 28800

DEFAULT Password = "UNIX", Suffix = "%ppp"
User-Service-Type = Framed-User,
Framed-Protocol = PPP,
Framed-Address = 255.255.255.254,
Framed-Netmask = 255.255.255.0,

Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobsen-TCP-IP,
Framed-MTU = 1500,
Session-Timeout = 28800

I was trying to see if Auth-Type and Password both worked. That is why
they are mixed in the users file.
