radclient ignores 'Group' attribute

[Bill Schoolfield]

Alan,

I got a little mixed up. I was thinking the sql query would use the 
group attribute along with the username (as though the group mechanism 
supported users with the same name in different groups). I know better now.

What was actually happening (I should have looked at the sql closer) is 
one of the queries (the one for radreply) was failing because I put no 
user specific attributes there. Do I have to supply a dummy (constant) 
attribute per user? Right now, all attributes to be returned appear in 
the radgroupreply table.

Thanks for your quick response.

Bill
