Thanks Alan, that helped more than you know.

This is what I am trying to do, I have a user in my users file, before they are
allowed to authenticate I want to also check that the MAC address sent in the
Calling-Station-Id matches what is in the users file. So I would check not only
for the username/passowrd but also that the MAC was the same for that user.

Is checkval what I am looking for or is there a certain syntax for the users
file that I am missing? I have read the /doc/processing_users_file, man 5 users
and been going through the config files in the /etc/raddb. directory, with no
success.

Thanks again,

Jon
