(RADIATOR) Resolved problem tracking actual userid and macs address with EAP.

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello John -

Thanks for the update.

BTW - you can also use the incoming request packet as a temporary 
scratch-pad area, which avoids you having to worry about undefined 
attributes in the reply packet (as the packet is just deleted after 
processing).

regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
