afaik yes. However, it's been ages since we last looked at stock login 
scripts, we ended up heavily customising ours to get it to do what we 
wanted. Also, you'll see that there are multiple causes for reject 
(invalid password, not enough credits etc.) which are best controlled 
through radius messages that your login script then converts into html. 
I haven't done that coding myself though so I'm afraid I can't help you 
further.
