sqlippool querries

[Bill Schoolfield]

I did eventually find a thread that mentions the busted schema and 
querrys and I made the necessary changes. All is well.

As for "fix the NAS", so noted.

See below for one more comment...

I did this but noticed that # characters are being stored in the db as =23

Here is a calling station value in the db:

GigabitEthernet 5/0/3.3170044:317-44=23587435726=23804GE1 
TOROON44BBN-TOROON4415W=23=23pppoe d8:6c:e9:10:32:c5=23

In the radius -X output the above shows up as

GigabitEthernet 5/0/3.3170044:317-44#587435726#804GE1 
TOROON44BBN-TOROON4415W##pppoe d8:6c:e9:10:32:c5#

Why is this?
