  From... ntradping.

  It means that you configured FreeRADIUS to return attributes that
ntradping doesn't understand.  It's OK, because ntradping doesn't
understand much of anything.

  If you used radclient (which comes with FreeRADIUS), it would print
out the attribute names, because it's well written, and uses the
FreeRADIUS dictionaries.

  I'm a little at a loss for why people insist on using ntradping when
radclient does more...
