hmm, being quite database driven when talking about logs, that's indeed =

I definitely won't mess around with the sourcecode, but it would be a =
really nice feature for a future version to have this info available in =
a variable at least in the post-auth query because it'd make a perfekt =
"Failed Auth" table for the helpdesk.
I know about the log_badlogins from dialup_admin but it somehow broken, =
depends on running through the radius.log with all the drawbacks =
(log-rotation, probably performance..) and I'm no big friends of =
perl-scripts parsing logs to fill a table more or less reliable with =
data that's already reliable & available otherwise..
For now I can live with tail'ing the radius.log..
