All,
The User-Password attribute in a RADIUS packet is normally encrypted. The RADIUS dissector has defined the User Password attribute as a RADIUS_STRING. This should be a BINSTRING imho. GTK chokes on this when trying to display the user password contents.
I have tried to build ethereal on win32 (cygwin) to verify the result of this change, however I got stuck at the last step, linking to ethereal.exe... I'll post a new message about that.
