For the past several months people have been reporting a LONG delay in authentication after connecting to our modems. Try as I might I couldn't duplicate this until today. Seems that normal PAP authentication works fine. However, about 1/10th of the time that I dial into my USR equipment using a terminal window I experience the problem. Here is what happens, dial into USR, handshake goes well, I am prompted for my login. After entering my username and hitting enter the USR hangs for about a minute before coming back with "Login incorrect" and then prompts me again for my username. It never asks for a password. Watching things on the radius server I see about 30 lines come across my radius logs saying something like "Error: no username: [] (from nas tc-1.minn.net)" Obviously my one minute delay on login is being caused by the USR timing out on this null username request. The question is why is the USR sending a null radius request and timing out on it? It only does this about 1/10th of the time and it never seems to happen when doing straight PAP. Anyone else run into this before?
