I believe I've posted most of my problems with rad-auth on the Max 20 to the list. Poke around the archives, and if you don't find anything I'll try to give you a summary. I'd strongly suggest that you at least test on a single box without rad-auth. It may not be the problem for you, but we've been forced to stop using it entirely on the Max 20/Terminator. I'm not sure what you mean by using RADIUS to distribute routes. You're running a routing protocol, RIP, for that, aren't you? You don't have to give that up. -- Peter Lalor Infoasis plalor at infoasis.com http://www.infoasis.com/ "Where's my burrito?" -- Homer ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request at bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq>
