  As you've noted before.  The answer won't change.

  The documentation describes this behavior, and explains it.

  Different products.  Different behaviors.  If this is a problem,
please call Ford, and ask them why their cars don't look the same as
GM's cars.

  Sure.  Patch the source code.  That's why source is included.

  There is no standard for the "users" file.  None.

  FreeRADIUS (and Cistron before it) have been doing it this way for
nearly 10 years now.  Any software that can't produce "users" file
entries for FreeRADIUS is broken.  The manufacturers have chosen to not
support the most popular and widely used RADIUS server on the planet.
