Actually, they didn't claim that 1812/1813 were the bogus numbers,
they claimed that the quoted RFCs were bogus.  In any case, I think
this is a firm case of a defacto standard colliding with an official
one and not so much a matter of "right" and "wrong" in any truly
boolean sense.  I'd still like to hear more about who uses the new
assignments as defaults - so far I've checked the defaults on our
local cisco 2501 and Livingston PM2er [ick] and they both use
1645/1646.  Any ISP plugging along with the defaults on that equipment
is going to hit a wall with a radius that has gotten its port
assignments properly through /etc/services and that's just bogus
too.

If I were writing radius authentication daemons then I'd probably have
mine listen on both points, but happily I'm not writing any of those
these days. :-)

I could certainly live with (and even enthusiastically support) such a
compromise.  Perhaps the 1812/1813 entries still in there but
commented out with a notation as to why, along with uncommented
1645/1646 entries which also point to the other entries as the
"official but not often used" ones?  Would that make you and Rod
happy? :-)
