Question on Radius logs

[Brett Littrell]

Hi James,
 
    That looks perfect for the tech logs, thanks.  The debugging side was a little different, I was thinking about inputting text strings in the middle of unlang scripts.  Usually when I write say a C program I will pop in a lot of printf's with variables so I know what a variable is in a program, well use to anyway debuggers make that to easy now to waste time on it.  For freeradius I was not sure if there was similar functionality.  I am guessing there is not, I was kind of thinking it may be a stretch to add something like that in a config file.
 
Thanks for the linelog module, that will really help a lot!!.

Hi Brett,
  It sounds like the linelog module may do what you need, in conjunction 
with unlang for the conditionals:
