RE: AAA trouble....

Maybe it's just the logic between local and line.

I tried using a Radius server today, and it didn't follow this logic. When I
entered a username which hadn't been set in Radius-server, the authencation
failed and radius-server reported "unknown username, user (abc) authentication
failed"

I used WinRadius.
