radclient ignores 'Group' attribute

[Bill Schoolfield]

Hello,

We are switching out a client from cistron radius to FreeRadius with 
MySQL. To test things out without changes to the NASs, we are proxing 
certain realms to the new FreeRadius server.

Here's our problem; the proxy works fine but the authentication 
(actually the user lookup) is failing when testing via radclient. The 
user lookup fails because the 'Group' attribute in the referenced 
attribute file (-f file) is being ignored (not sent) by radclient.
Why is this? Is there a workaround?

The Group attribute is defined in the dictionary as:

ATTRIBUTE       Group                   1005    string

The attribute file used by radclient looks like:

         Acct-Session-Id = "6000006B",
         User-Name = "example at examp.com",
         User-Password = "example",
         Group = "default",
         NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1,
         NAS-Port-Id = 32,
         NAS-Port-Type = Async,
         Service-Type = Framed-User,
         Framed-Protocol = PPP


Thanks in advance for your response.
