  Which matches if there's a request for administrative user.  You also
have to acknowledge that request in the response, otherwise the NAS will
not let the administrator in:

"testuser"  NAS-IP-Address == "172.16.8.30", Cleartext-Password :=
 "testing", Service-Type =="Administrative-User"
	Service-Type := "Administrative-User"

  If you don't tell the server to send it back, no.
