[SOLVED] Radius Timeout problem after 5.2 upgrade

Hello all, we have some pppoe concentrators using mikrotik (we use freeradius to authenticate users), them after I upgraded to 5.2 my username/password errors was not described as "authentication failed" anymore, the 5.2 version is describing as "authentication failed - radius timeout" the username/password errors, could someone help me if this situation is right? And if it is a issue them it will be fix on 5.3 version?

I think that is not a "radius timeout" this is a error only with the username and password, I'm right?

Thanks in advance

The timeout is due to a delay in the response of a bad request. If the RADIUS request is accepted, the response is sent immediately. If it fails, the server waits about 2 seconds before responding with the reject message. Prior to V5.x that was apparently not a problem.
Try this:
/radius
print detail
set 0 timeout=3s
EDIT: My bad. It is just "timeout", not "radius-timeout".
