  That is changing the RADIUS protocol.  It won't be compatible with any
other RADIUS system on the planet.  Changing the protocol is not a good
idea.

  This list isn't the place to ask questions about coding.  It's for
questions related to configuring FreeRADIUS.

  Coding questions normally belong on the freeradius-devel list.
However, because you're *not* using RADIUS, your coding questions don't
belong there.

  We can't help you change RADIUS.  I suggest debugging the program
yourself.  Standard C skills will help here.
