(RADIATOR) how do to deal with special characters in username (aka Cisco "$enab15$ user)

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Mickey -

Why do you say Radiator does not like the "$" character?

Can you please send me a copy of your configuration file and a trace 4 
debug from Radiator showing what is happening?

BTW - I have seen other implementations that use these type of 
passwords with no trouble.

regards

Hugh
