  It covers RADIUS.  It's good for people who are completely new to RADIUS.

  As always, patches are welcome.  Even patches to the documentation.

  Yeah, it turns out that some of the Packet-Src-IP-Address compares
weren't even registered.  The code has been re-shuffled, and it should
now work, including with regular expressions.

  You'll have to list the "expr" module in the "instantiate" section for
 Packet-Src-IP-Address to work, though.
