I was under the impression that RADIUS (and Portmasters) didn't allow null
passwords? The radius client that I use on my linux term servers
definitely does not allow null passwords...it won't even send the radius
request if the passwd is null.

Wasn't this the reason I remember Livingston saying "you cannot have a
guest account log into a portmaster without some password".
