(RADIATOR) Patch: Monitor AuthBy PAM terminates radiusd

[Mike McCauley]

Hello Carl,

thanks for reporting this problem.

We have fixed the instance of this problem in PAM as you suggest, and also the 
other modules that require it. The fixed versions are now in the Radiator 3.9 
patches area.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

Cheers.
