(RADIATOR) MegaPOP Auth Problems?

[Jeremy Bushman]

I am having some problems getting our new MegaPOP sites to auth users. The
problem is that the username makes it ok, but the password shows up as a
bunch of garbage.

I end up with entries like this:

Tue Jul 10 20:55:17 2001:994816517:USERNAME:^Wg^UzaW:PASSWORD:FAIL:64.24.37.5
Tue Jul 10 20:55:35 2001:994816535:USERNAME:^Wg^UzaW:PASSWORD:FAIL:64.24.37.5
Tue Jul 10 20:58:50 2001:994816730:USERNAME:^X^S^Jo^A^N^W>Bb-^[:PASSWORD:FAIL:64.24.37.4
Tue Jul 10 20:59:08 2001:994816748:USERNAME:^X^S^Jo^A^N^W>Bb-^[:PASSWORD:FAIL:64.24.37.4

I've tried various MegaPOP numbers across the country and come up with the
same problem. I can take the same user and dial into any of our POP's just
fine.

I've presented this information to MegaPOP and they just replied:

"When I run a radtest through our radius, I get a timeout.  When I
bounce it directly off your radius, I get "Request Denied".  This
sounds like a problem(s) in your radius configuration."

Could this possibly be a problem with my Client statement? An example:

<Client 216.126.128.8>
        Secret *******
        RewriteUsername s/\s//g;
        DupInterval 300
        NasType ignore
</Client>

I have an entry exactly like this for each of the MegaPOP radius servers,
as well as a few of our RAS's. (Something with the "NasType ignore" that
we need)

I am also doing some re-writes in the Handler field, but that is just
appending domains and converting uppercase to lowercase, the same things
we are doing for all our POP's.

I've tried a Trace 4 and it just looks like we are getting a bad password
from MegaPOP.

Anyone have any insight or ideas?

Thank you.
