Illegal attributes in update packets?

[Alex French]

Hi all,

Having read the RFCs (well, skimmed them at least) I am aware that 
including Acct-Session-Time, Acct-Output-Octets and Acct-Input-Octets in 
UPDATE messages is illegal. However, we have what we think is a good reason 
to do it, and freeradius seems to allow this (and we've patched the 
postgresql config statements to update the accounting tables appropriately).

My question is, how evil do people consider this to be? Does anyone have an 
insight into *why* this is illegal? And is anyone aware of how other Radius 
servers treat such packets (i.e. willl it break anything if we proxy these 
attributes to other people?)

Thanks,

Alex
