Expressions on the first line in a users file stanza are check items. 
Expressions on subsequent lines are reply items.  You probably want to 
use the second method and replace "Service-Type = Framed-User" with the 
comparison "Service-Type == Framed-User".

If the check and reply items needed for your setup don't result in a 
users file that's unmanageable, it's acceptable.
