(RADIATOR) How to send specifier values to hooks??

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Michael -

The address the request was received from is available in

	$p->{RecvFrom}

and

	$p->{RecvFromAddress}

so yes you can use format_special, or just use the above directly.

See the code in "Radius/Radius.pm" sub newRecvFrom().

regards

Hugh
