I saw discussion in a previous thread (Handling of the 'Class'
attribute, this post in particular,
http://lists.freeradius.org/mailman/htdig/freeradius-users/2003-July/021
267.html) that implied this was frowned upon, at least when interacting
with other RADIUS servers (which is what I'm using FreeRADIUS for), but
also because the RFC recommends that it should be treated as
undistinguished octets.

I read through the current doc/variables.txt in CVS. Looks great. Is
this a 1.1.x kind of feature or will it find it's way into a later
1.0.x?

Thanks for the reply.
