Glad to help.

What radius server are you using? I thought that the error messages
were a cause of our radiator running with ascend extensions.

Mark - Thank you!! I just wanted to report success. With your simplified
config, I was able to make netsaint's check_radius run. I will file the bug
report on what I had to do. I also see some odd syslog errors like you
mentioned.

We use the checkradius plugin. Here's my config:
|service[radius2]=radius;0;24x7;3;3;1;admins;120;24x7;1;1;1;;check-radius!!Pnetsaint!netsaint

|command[check-radius]=$USER1$/check_radius --hostname=$HOST_ADDRESS 
--filename=/etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf --username=$ARG2$ 
--password=$ARG3$

|[EMAIL PROTECTED]/501]:/etc/netsaint$ cat /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf 
| grep -v '^\(#.*\)\?$'
|auth_order  radius,local
|login_tries 4
|login_timeout   60
|nologin /etc/nologin
|issue   /etc/radiusclient/issue
|authserver  localhost
|acctserver  localhost
|servers /etc/radiusclient/servers
|dictionary  /etc/radiusclient/dictionary
|login_radius/usr/sbin/login.radius
|seqfile /var/run/radius.seq
|mapfile /etc/radiusclient/port-id-map
|default_realm
|radius_timeout  10
|radius_retries  3
|login_local /bin/login

The plugin needs the package libradius1 and radiusclient1 installed
(both have version 0.3.1-7 on our system), and it generates a
truckload of syslog entries like
|Aug  5 08:23:59 lauren check_radius: rc_get_seqnbr: couldn't open sequence 
file  /var/run/radius.seq: Permission denied
|Aug  5 08:23:59 lauren check_radius: rc_avpair_gen: received unknown attribute 
235 of length 4: 0x0001
|Aug  5 08:23:59 lauren check_radius: rc_avpair_gen: received unknown attribute 
244 of length 4: 0x

the sequence file error can probably easily be fixed, but I do not
understand the "unknown attribute" error.

The netsaint mailinglists are very unhelpful, unfortunately.
