I did not think to check the validity of the user itself (eventhough it's right there in the error message!), which by default is 25 years from now. So it must've worked up until december of last year.

Good to hear this got solved. With later Perls you can have a 'Valid to'
like 2410-12-31 and it will work. With older Perls (pre 5.12) you need
to keep the date below 2038-01-19. I just tested 2410 with a system
running Perl 5.14 and Radmin and DB had no problems with it.

Thanks,
