Thanks for the reply Alan,
Apologies, that was in the faq.
If I've got you right then, if I'm storing my users in a MySQL table then I
won't need to restart radius.
Since I'm going to need continual changing of the authentication password
I'm going to try to get it working with the MySQL back-end.
Thanks again
Paul
