[Bug-gnu-radius] About acct/auth flag in the raddb/realms file

[Maurice Makaay]

Hi,

In the NEWS file from CVS I read the following interesting section:

*** New flags auth and acct allow to select which type of requests is to be
proxied to the remote server. For example, the statement:
some.realm   remote.server.net    auth
will send only authentication requests to the server `remote.server.net'

I have tried to test this functionality, but it didn't really work for
me. Although I had set the flag "acct" for a proxy realm (because I want
to proxy my accounting data to another radius server, but want to handle
authentication locally), the authentication was proxied also.

Skimming through the source, I came to the following solution:

<realm>         <host>          acct,noauth 

So, is the documentation in the NEWS file incorrect or am I?


Regards,
