  You can do it any way you want!

  Yes, that's not very helpful... more examples and documentation would
be very useful.

  It can use a text file.  You can store MAC addresses in a text file
(man rlm_passwd), and then check membership of that text file at run time.

  If you have an example that works, please send it over, and we'll
include it in the next release.
