[RADIATOR] RADIATOR issue with particular attribute (NAS-IPv6-Address)

[A.L.M.Buxey at lboro.ac.uk]

hi,

RADIATOR has a definition for the NAS-IPv6-Address attribute in
its dictionary file. 

ATTRIBUTE       NAS-IPv6-Address                95      ipaddrv6

however, it appears that this attribute type (ipaddrv6) has
some interplay problem with the server. ie If you have a RADIUS packet
going through RADIATOR on a host that isnt doing IPv6 - ie it doesnt have
PERL Socket6 library installed, then the 18byte attribute is mangled
to 2 bytes. the result of that? other servers such as NPS will just silently 
drop the packet (well, it logs malformed RADIUS packet but remote servers
think server is dead). in a highly federated environment (eg eduroam)
this leads to quite elongated/obtuse issues. May I ask that this 
handling of the packet be seperated from IPv6 functionality (standard
IPv4 servers should just pass known packets through as is....) - 
perhaps as simple as changing the type of that attribute?

many thanks
