I'll try that out, but I'm not worried about the current MAC format.  I
just wanted to dump everything else (in Calling-Station-Id) and only
store the MAC.

I'm not sure what you mean here.  Please explain.

So, I don't need it in preacct?  I mean, it's working as is.  Would it
be better to put in post-auth versus preacct?

We're using Nas-Port for pool-key in sqlippool.conf.  We want to try out
Calling-Station-Id.  But, before we try that, we wanted the
Calling-Station-Id attribute received from the NAS to be trimmed to only
include the MAC.  The NAS sends a whole bunch of other text plus the
MAC, which ends up being over 100 characters long.  Shortening the
attribute to just the MAC itself will allow us to keep the field length
in the table the same.

FYI: we want to try Calling-Station-Id as a pool-key because we're not
100% sure if the NAS is sending unique NAS-Port attributes.  The vendor
can't confirm this either (yes, that's insane).
