Thanks Hugh. I saw that one, but the manual says "it adds attributes to
an Access-Accept _only_ if there would otherwise be no reply attributes."
which I read as saying that the reply had to be totally void of A-V pairs.
Perhaps I'm tackling this the wrong way? The underlying requirement is
to be able to set per-NAS defaults for some items (e.g. idle timeouts)
but have these over-ridable by explicit entries in a user's record (e.g.
long/disabled idle timeout for "permanent" users). My thinking was to
have a Handler that added to the reply for specific A-V pairs _only_ if
that A-V pair was not present in the user's reply.
Thanks,
Neale.
