(RADIATOR) config problem

[Ivo Tzvetkov]

Hello,

I am having a problem setting up Radiator at work and I'm hoping you can 
help me.

We are setting up a RADIUS server on a machine running RedHat 9.0 with 
Perl 5.8.0 using Radiator-Demo-3.6-1 (config and log extracts listed at 
the bottom).

The server is used to authenticate a Cisco NAS. Authentication succeeds 
for the default user mikem/fred, and we are currently trying to set up 
handler clauses so that we can have different authentication methods based 
on the IP of the incoming NAS. 

However, setting up handlers as per the configuration below results in the 
first handler always being picked irrespective of the accepted IP (ie. NASes 
with non-matching IPs still get handled by it). The reason for this, 
according to the logs, seems to be that there is an error in the given 
"attribute=value" pair, but it is set up as specified in the documentation 
(as well as many examples on google), and the dictionary seems load fine.

The same error occurs with all attributes, not just IPs, and it would appear 
to be some sort of parse error of the configuration. We are aware of some 
RedHat9 / Perl issues with UTF-8, but the environment variables have been 
reconfigured accordingly and these issues are resolved, so that would lead 
us to believe that it's an error with radiator itself.

I would appreciate your comments or help.

Regards,
 -Ivo
