(RADIATOR) using the class atribute for a special purpose

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Tunde -

The Class attribute is added to an access accept that is returned to 
the NAS and it will be included in all subsequent accounting requests 
from the NAS for the session.

There will never be a Class attribute in an access request.

The Called-Station-Id can be matched either on the exact string or on a 
regular expression. Regular expressions are delimited by "/.../". Check 
the Radiator reference manual and your Perl book for details.

regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
