  That question is very confused.  You don't mean the "clients" file.
You mean the "users" file.  Computers are particular about that kind of
thing.

  And you can't get IP's accepted as a User-Name.  They're a different
attribute.

  Because that's how it works.

  Because the "users" file is keyed by User-Name.  Read the comments at
the top of the "users" file.  This is documented.

  Have you tried reading raddb/modules/files?  This is documented.
