Yes, the format for the -o option has changed. It is mentioned both
in the NEWS file and in the accompanying documentation. See

http://www.gnu.org/software/radius/manual/html_chapter/radius_12.html#SEC205

for the exact description. There are also several "canned" formats
now. These are also described there.

The format you need is:

radwho -o '(login 8)'

Norman, manpages are not the authoritative source of information for
a GNU program! Each radius manpage contains the following section:

BUGS
       The information in this manpage may be obsolete or  incom-
       plete.  Please  refer  to  texinfo  documentation for full
       information about GNU Radius tools.

I guess I should have placed it right at the top of a manpage, not
near the end of it:^)
