I'm more inclined to use the linelog because I want the messages to end 
up on my syslog server along with all my other auth events.  Can the 
linelog be changed without recompiling freeradius?

If modifying the linelog isn't possible then I like the sound of this. 
Is there some documentation on the dynamic_clients option?  I can't seem 
to find any reference to it on freeradius.org.
