Hi, Alan,

no, this is _not_ the only fix ;)

I have found the problem now:

the VPN3000 Concentrator has a timing problem:

if the answer from the radius server is _fast_ (< 200ms) _and_ a lot 
of debugging is enabled - then the vpn3000 may lost the udp packet which
contains the answer.

The FREERADIUS _is_ fast - in our environement the answers came after
30-180 ms. So packets get lost.

Because the CISCO ACS is not so fast (> 300ms) this did not happen with ACS.


regards,
