Once upon a time Web Master shaped the electrons to say...
>We are in the process of migration our Linux Radius 2.0.1 to Radius NT

One cannot. Crypt is a ONE WAY function - once an password is encrypted it
is NOT recoverable. Well, except for a brute force crack attempt. But
unless you have a few millenia, or let users pick dumb passwords, that's not
an option.

You sure the NT 2.0.1b12 doesn't handle it? (I avoid NT so I don't keep
track of such things.)

>2. "Calling-Station-Number", for added security we are going to

>anyone knows whether it works with RadiusNT and how to configure it?

Yes, and just add it to the dictionary.
