Thanks for replying and sorry if I'm being vague, I'll try and be more specific.

Yes, clients change their password on the server via a custom web
interface on top of the LDAP and this then obviously do not get
automatically updated on the wireless settings on the clients
computer.

Re-enter the password in the wireless setup if they do not get authenticated.

the send_error was added to version 2.1.11 as a bug fix "Allow
EAP-MSCHAPv2 to send error message to client. This change allows some
clients to prompt the user for a new password. See raddb/eap.conf,
mschapv2 section, "send_error"."
This was said in earlier version to solve issues for some clients but
*may* also cause other clients to stop working. The setting is also
not included in version 2.1.12 eap.conf.

radiusd -X gives the same output to mac/windows/linux users when they
need to re-enter their password but only the mac/linux users get a
prompt for it.
