(RADIATOR) MAC Address Authentication

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Arjan, Hello Gene -

You can accomplish the same thing by specifying the following in your 
AuthBy clause:

	<AuthBy ...>
		.....
		AuthenticateAttribute Calling-Station-Id
		.....
	</AuthBy>

which will use Calling-Station-Id instead of User-Name for the 
authentication.

See section 6.18.50 in the Radiator 3.10 reference manual 
("doc/ref.html").

regards

Hugh

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