Are you using version 1.0.5 or a CVS snapshot? I just looked at
rlm_counter for the first time: there is an option "return-attribute"
in CVS head for that purpose, but it doesn't exist in rlm_sqlcounter.

If you're using 1.0.5, I don't know how you manage to return the value
in Session-Octets-Limit. As to my understanding of rlm_counter.c, the
reply attribute is hard-coded to Session-Timeout.

I think we need such an option to configure either time or traffic
counters. And perhaps "reply-attribute" would be a better name than
"reply-name".
