In this case I quite disagree. If previous releases of the code did not set the authentication key, then any RADIUS server that did not check the Authenticator would work and any RADIUS server that did would break. If they had changed the default, then those RADIUS servers that used to work will continue to not check the Authenticator and still work, and the ones that did check will now work. No chance of breaking anything by changing this, I would say! > Like on PMs - in 3.5 we started doing VLSM and honoring RADIUS netmasks set > for users.

That's a different, and debatable case, because there really is a potetial breakage. -Phil ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <HR> <STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg10018.html">Re: (ASCEND) The USR Total control chassis (fwd)</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: MegaZone <megazone@livingston.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10050.html">Re: (ASCEND) Re: K56 Rockwell Code 1.140 + Ap27</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10047.html">(ASCEND) Maxes colocated in COs?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10036.html">Re: (ASCEND) The USR Total control chassis (fwd)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10020.html">Re: (ASCEND) JBPC 5.0Ai4 (fwd)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="maillist.html#10049"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd214.html#10049"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
