I am having a problem with a MAX-TNT and getting it to do a radius
authentication talking to Livingston radiusd 2.1.  I know, why use the
Livingston stuff, well we have a bunch of PM-3's that have been in use
for years, and just happened on a great deal on a TNT-MAX, so decided to
add it to the stockpile of access servers.  So as you can see I need a
radiusd that can talk to both PM-3's and the MAX-TNT as both will be in
service.

 Anyway if I have the TNT take and try and authenticate a user from an
entry that is in the users file, all works just great.  Where the
problem is, if I try and have it authenticate a user that is in the unix
password file.  If I try that, the radius server barks back the
following:

radius[85750]: unix_pass: password for "joeblow" failed

OK, sounds like a general password problem, well I would agree, other
than the fact if I have the user call one of the PM-3's the
authentication is successful.  So only attempts from the Max-TNT fail,
which I thought was really strange.

Also if I look at my syslog output from the MAX, I see stuff like this:

Mar 16 20:03:15 max1 1/6: [1/6/15/0] LAN security error: <joeblow> [MBID
521; ->4239193] [Answer]


Anyway I would love to get this MAX up and running, if I need to use a
different radiusd to be compatible with both Ascend and Livingston, I
guess that is what I will have to do, but would be nice if I could just
get it working with my current radiusd that has been running it seems
like forever.

If anyone has experience with making Livingston radius 2.1 work with an
Ascend Max TNT, and could give me some pointers it would be very much
appreciated.  Not sure if it matters, but the TNT is running TAOS 7.2,
as I think that is the latest version we can run with a couple of the
cards that are in the unit.
