Fall-Through attribute, reply or configure item?

2009-02-16 Thread Damjan
I'm reading the documentation of freeradius 2.1.3 (I've not gone through
it all yet) and I find that Fall-Through = Yes is always specified as a
reply attribute.

But it isn't a real reply attribute isn't it? It's more of a configure
attribute like Cleartext-Password, right? So it should be used in a
check line with := (or radcheck DB table).

I understand that changing this will probably mean to much work for FR
administrators, I'm only asking to make things clearer to me.




ps.
is there a list of the special configure attributes that freeradius
works with?

All the answers are in the freeradius.internal dictionary.

  Yes.

  Theoretically, yes.  Practically, no.

  There are 100,000 deployments on the server using the existing
functionality of Fall-Through, along with lots of documentation.
Changing it for the sake of purity is a waste of time.

Of course, I understand that.

I will be explaining Freeradius to some coworkers, including why we
have to use Cleartext-Password and about the := operator in check lines, 
and somehow I came to Fall-Through that seemed like a configuration
item. I had to know exactly what's going on, so I can prepare better.

thanks.
