Huh? No. Absolutely not. > I've checked the version currently in CVS and the bug is still there. Why is it a bug? What problem does it create? If you would read the RFC's, the documentation, and the source code, you would realize: a) PW_TYPE_ABINARY is only for Ascend's stupid filter attributes b) The CHAP-Challenge type is of type 'string' c) the attribute type is ONLY internal to the server, and NEVER is sent in a RADIUS packet.
