Featues in MacRADIUS Version 1.1

New session list window shows the users currently on-line, the length of their sessions, and the peak usage and session length. The window is available whenever the accounting server is active.
Added an option to Server Configuration that prevents simultaneous sessions by the same user. This option is available only if the accounting and authentication servers are running on the same machine, since they need to coordinate to provide this function. This option applies server-wide; simultaneous session prevention cannot be turned on and off on a per-user basis. See the Administrator's Guide for complete details.
MacRADIUS Apple events have been improved to support user objects that have name, group membership, and login-enabled/disabled properties. This means it is now possible to create and delete individual users, enable/disable user login, and assign users to existing groups in MacRADIUS using Apple events. An Apple event was also added to tell MacRADIUS to clear its list of sessions being tracked for simultaneous login prevention. See the "AppleScripts - Read Me" file and the Administrator's Guide for details of these changes.
The Apple events for Export Database and Export Logs now create their output filenames using date and time in the following format:
```
		MacRADIUS Database:	Database yy.mm.dd hh.mm.ss
		Authentication Log:	AuthLog yy.mm.dd hh.mm.ss
		Accounting Log:		AcctLog yy.mm.dd hh.mm.ss
```
The filename formats were modified in response to customer suggestions to improve sorting and avoid aliasing of "/" characters in web browser environments. The changed names might affect scripts or post-processing utilities that you may be using. See the "AppleScripts - Read Me" file for details.
The preference to "Allow Apple Events to change user passwords when administration locked" has been expanded to include all Apple events that make database changes, as well as database export. These functions are now available via Apple events when the "Allow Apple events to change database when admin locked" preference is selected.
If a "change password" Apple event is sent and the original password provided is wrong, the wrong password now counts against the "Number of password attempts before user disabled" value in the Server Configuration dialog. This is to prevent someone from guessing a password by sending change password events for a user until one succeeds. The "change password" Apple event will no longer work for a login-disabled user.
MacRADIUS now supports the proxy-state attribute, and can interoperate with RADIUS proxy clients as well as ordinary NAS clients.
MacRADIUS now supports passwords longer than 16 characters, if the NAS equipment being used also supports it (per the final RADIUS RFC).
Vendor-specific attributes present in accounting logs are now printed in a TLV (type-length-value) "hex dump" format.
If no Administrator password has been set, MacRADIUS no longer presents the Server Password dialog box asking you to enter one.
Check attribute failures now put the name of the authenticating user in the log window.
The "Dictionary" and "Aliases" files have been updated since the v1.0.3 release. If you are using a Dictionary or Aliases file that you have modified, you will need to apply those same edits to the files that MacRADIUS v1.1 creates when it is launched the first time in its new folder with no Dictionary or Aliases files present.
The Ascend "Dictionary" and "Aliases" files have been updated.
