.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.B radiusmon
is part of the NOCOL network monitoring package, used for
testing a radius server and making sure that it responds
to queries.

The program reads in a list of sites to query from a config file at startup
and then sends an AUTH radius packet to the remote server.

If compiled with IGNORE_AUTHCODE, it will assume that any response from
the server (even a deny) indicates that the radius server is OK. Else,
it will see if the response is an okay (i.e. password was valid).
