Daniel, I think you didn't get the point... It's NOT about registering...
What Phillip is talking about is (I guess):
I'm registered as "ricardo" on my Linux box. No spaces.
But, if I connect (DUN) typing "ricardo " (one or more trailing spaces) and
my password, Ascend RADIUS *LETS* me connect.
Then, if a friend connects using "ricardo" and my password, my MAX4000
*CONNECTS* me, because it considers ANOTHER login.
So, I have TWO logins in the same MAX4k box. And on the RADIUS side, we know
how difficult is to find a server that deals with multiple logins... :-(

BUT, I think all this stuff is corrected in TAOS versions 6.X and above
(have to check, however).
