\000 in "octets" attribute?

the RADIUS RFC forbids attributes with a terminating \000. The server knows 
that, and will shorten the octet attribute by cutting off the \000 - leaving 
an empty string behind. If your NAS really requires a trailing \000: fix the 
NAS. It is not RFC-compliant then.

Greetings,
