agent-remote-id, agent-circuit-id strange format change.

[Denis Iskandarov]

Hello
i'm using DHCP Option 82 with Freeradius auth.
it uses several fields as username for auth: User-Name, agent-remote-id and
agent-circuit-id.
User-Name is mac address of cdhcp-client, and comes to radius in normal
format "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff"
agent-remote-id and agent-circuit-id - are combination of dhcp-client mac
address, vlan id, port id, slot id of dhcp relay.

they should come in same normal hex format aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff but lil bit bit
longer e.g.:
Agent-Remote-Id = 0006000ded21a480
Agent-Circuit-Id = 000400020000

But they are coming in this unknow unreadable format:
Agent-Remote-Id = "\000\006\000\r\355!\244\200"
Agent-Circuit-Id = "\000\004\000\002\000"

dictionary used is Redback with attributes 96 and 97....i've tried both
octets and string format in dictionary for this attributes.

How can i tell freeradius to work with this attributes in normal format ?
Other way i've to enter this stupid strings in users db to authenticate user
(it works like this right now).

There is other commercial multi OS radius server built on perl "RADIATOR"
and it works like charm with only few string in its rad.conf. (in my case
it's working on WinXP, and FreeRadius main server on CentOS)

here is debug output of both radius servers:
