how do I define in my dictionary the vendor of format Extended-Vendor-Specific-1

[Jorge Pereira]

Hi,

   trust me, is more easy that you can imagine... my sugestion is:

# cd  /etc/freeradius

the below dictionary.. is a smal/simple example to be based.

# cp  /usr/share/dictionary.zyxel   dictionary.blable

Open the file dictionary.blable and change the number of VENDOR for your
preference. and change/add/remove
the attributes that you need.... save.

# echo '$INCLUDE dictionary.blable'  >> dictionary

done... now you can use your custom dictionary... remember that you need to
have the same dicionary in the other side
that will send/receive the requests.
