(RADIATOR) Radmin "Undocumented Feature"

[Andrew Sinclair]

Hi Hugh, Mike and Co,

I found a "bug" in Radmin through my own stupidity.

If you enter a Client address as xxx.xxx.781.xxx
ie. an octet is over 255, Radmin accepts it.

When you try to restart radiator, everything /etc/init.d/rc/d/radiator 
and radius.pid (on RH7.3) reports it has started OK but it's just not 
running.

The error does show up in the radius logfile with a suitable Trace level.

Perhaps Radmin 1.7 could have some sanity checks on input of addresses 
to prevent people like me (4 thumbs) entering these malformed addresses.

BTW Radmin saved me from requiring hours and hours of custom 
radiator/mysql/http setup for a client costing them far less to buy the 
package. It's great stuff and has the added benefit for them of being 
supported/used by someone else and it's documented!

Cheers
