hints and non-DEFAULT entries

[Stefan Winter]

Hi,

today I tried to use hints, but obviously in an unsupported manner. I wanted 
to set a specific attribute for one user if he logs in from one specific NAS 
and thought that:

theguy		Client-IP-Address == 1.2.3.4
	The-Attribute = x

would do it.

Instead, this line matched all incoming usernames, just as if there was 
DEFAULT instead of theguy at the beginning of the line. I.e. it attached the 
attribute to *everyone* coming in from that IP.

I changed the entry to match with DEFAULT User-Name == "theguy", which worked. 
I suggest to add documentation to hints that the usual "users" way of adding 
entries with the user name at the beginning of the line doesn't work.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
