Re: Radiusd on USR NetServer?

Hello,

I have the same problem with NetServers and Livingston RADIUS 2.0. The
Netserver sends a packet that is not recognized as valid by the server.
Even though the RFC states that the server MUST ignore the packet, it
causes the daemon to die.

The patch was posted here at one time; if anyone still has it, please post
again.

Thanks,

Rob
