(RADIATOR) radiusd crashes/dies

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Barry -

This is from the header of "Radius/MSCHAP":

# MSCHAP.pm
# Implements MSCHAP algorithms as described in
# draft-ietf-pppext-mschap-00.txt and RFC3079
# Requires Digest-MD4-1.0 or better, available from CPAN and
# ActiveState


You will need to install Digest-MD4 from CPAN.

The problem is that someone is sending you MSCHAP passwords

regards

Hugh
