I'm not fond of the dox myself and the commercial AAC server's dox are
worse than the dox for their old free RADIUS. An index should be part
of any manual, IMHO. :-(

We are currently running Ascend's old free RADIUS and didn't have to
specify a netmask in the RADIUS user profiles. Now I'm deploying the
Ascend Access Control (AAC) RADIUS server, I have to specify a /32
netmask for the user profiles. Otherwise the Max doesn't install a
route to the client in its own routing table (examine this from the
*Max's* shell prompt). I don't know what changed but it took me days
to find this. I think winipcfg may still think it's got a /24 netmask
(can't check right now) but at least the Max will know how to route to
it.
