Description Karel Srot 2011-06-13 08:09:50 UTC
Description of problem:

Radtest script is not working with eap-md5 option. This is becasue radeapclient binary is used for eap-md5 and this binary doesn't support -4 option (for IPv4) which is passed to the binary.

Ugly workaround I have used:


# Set the address family
case "$family" in
	IPv4)
		[ "$radclient" = "$radeapclient" ] || OPTIONS="$OPTIONS -4"
		NAS_ADDR_ATTR="NAS-IP-Address"
		;;
	IPv6)
		OPTIONS="$OPTIONS -6"
		NAS_ADDR_ATTR="NAS-IPv6-Address"
		;;
	*)
		echo "ERROR: unknown address family ($family)" >&2
		usage
esac
