(RADIATOR) AuthBy File random errors

[Martijn Balink]

Hi,
 
I've been running radiator 3.5 for quite a while now. 
Dial-up requests are handled well by the server (running Windows 2000). 
However, an online shop we're affiliated to wants to authenticate our
students and staff-members through Radius. 
So I've created an extra handler in my cfg file (below the dial-up-part.
Dialup is filtered out through NAS-address) :

	### STAFF-requests
	<Handler Realm=hesasd.nl>
	 # strip the realm from the username
	 RewriteUsername s/^([^@]+).*/$1/
	 # This one translates all uppercase chars to lowercase
	 RewriteUsername tr/[A-Z]/[a-z]/
	 <AuthBy FILE>
	  Filename  d:\Radiator-3.5\usersdb\aselectUsers.txt
	 </AuthBy>
	 AcctLogFileName d:\Radiator-3.5\log\aselect.detail.%d%m.log
	</handler>

 
This results for some users in the following error (which users get the
errors is totally random): 

	Tue Mar 22 14:04:01 2005: DEBUG: Packet dump:

The <password> items contain the user's password, I thought it safe to
remove that from my email ;-)
 
When I move the user "scf" to the top of the userfile
(aselectUsers.txt), authentication works fine. I've replaced the Active
Perl software (I was running 5.8.0) with version 5.6.1 (5.8.0 appeared
to be buggy, according to the installation documents), but this didn't
change a thing. 
Is there anybody who has a solution for this problem? 
By the way (maybe this has something to do with it, maybe it doesn't),
the logging statement (AcctLogFileName
d:\Radiator-3.5\log\aselect.detail.%d%m.log) does not produce any output
at all, not even an empty log-file...
 
I hope anyone can help me out in this.
 
Thanks in advance,
