[Help-gnu-radius] Max 3000 system users (was: rewrite and regex?)

The problem arose even if nobody tried to login. But I think, I have found 
the bug. The attached Router (Max 3000) tries to login to the radius with 
system users. It seems so, that this behaviour doesn't stop, if you have 
setup Auth-Type = Accept. If you make entries in the user file for every max 
system user with Auth-Type = Reject, the problem is solved (I will watch this 
;-)). If you reject the login of the system users, they don't "try" to login 
again. If they are accepted, the login procedures won't stop. -> The Max 
tries to login up to 200 times a second, (and this maybe a little bit to much 
for radius ;-)).
