You would do something like this:

# define AuthBy clauses

<AuthBy SQL>
	Identifier CheckSQL
	DBSource .....
	DBUsername .....
	DBAuth .....
	......
	AcctFailedLogFileName .....
	AcctFailedLogFileFormat .....
</AuthBy>

<AuthBy RADIUS>
	Identifier ForwardToProxy
	......
	NoReplyHook .....
	AcctFailedLogFileName .....
	AcctFailedLogFileFormat .....
</AuthBy>

<AuthBy TEST>
	Identifier AcceptAll
</AuthBy>

# define Realms

<Realm .....>
	AuthByPolicy ContinueUntilAccept
	AuthBy CheckSQL
	AuthBy AcceptAll
	.....
</Realm>

<Realm .....>
	Identifier AcceptAll
	AuthBy ForwardToProxy
	.....
</Realm>

There is an example NoReplyHook in the file "goodies/hooks.txt" that will 
work with what is shown above.

Also have a look at sections 6.28 and 6.29 in the Radiator reference manual 
included in the file "doc/ref.html" in the distribution.

If you have any other questions please ask.

regards

Hugh
