(RADIATOR) Expirations more granular than one day

[Allen Marsalis]

Thanks much Hugh!  I'll give that a whirl..  I doubt my RADIUS
client (NoCatAuth) will accept the reply attribute.  FWIW,
it re-authenticates every 8 minutes so once the user
tries to re-authenticate after expiration, no más packets.. :)

Last may I ask what unit or format EXPIRY is?  I'm thinking
that Epoch time or some date/timestamp format would be nice..
What timelocal format does AuthSelect use or expect in EXPIRY?
