EAP authentication and DHCP

OK, It's 3 AM but I've found a way to store the inner auth id
(username) and the outer request's MAC:

post-auth {
        if (!request:Calling-Station-Id ) {
                update request {
                        Calling-Station-Id =
"%{outer.request:Calling-Station-Id}"
                }
                sql
        }
}

What this does is: if Calling-Station-Id is missing (at least with my
NAS it is), then copy it from the outer request. Then log to SQL
database.

This also avoids logging anonymous requests (otherwise for each auth
request two records are generated).

Now I would like to know if this looks like it will work.

Thanks,
Hernan
