NotBefore, NotAfter or Date attributes fot temporary accounts

In an old post Alan DeKok said he would patch freeradius to support
temporary accounts using attributes like

  Date > "January  1 2010 13:00"
  Date > "January 12 2010 13:00"
or
  Not-Before := "January  1 2010 13:00"
  Not-After  := "January 12 2010 13:00"

Somebody knows if such a feature has ever been included in Freeradius?

Expiration attribute doesn't permit a "not-before" behaviour, Login-Time
attribute doesn't permit month/year specification.

Sure, this is a simpler way to do so.

The only difference will be that the reply message will not say "Password
has expired" or "Password not valid yet"... which, as far as I am concerned
is not very important ;-)

Thanks a lot...
