Implementing an account expiry in the users file

[Stefan Paetow]

Hi, 

I'm building a really basic system at the moment and want to implement a basic account expiry in the users file (since that's my user store). I found the Expiration attribute, but there seems to be a documentation mismatch. The FreeRADIUS docs on NetworkRADIUS say the format is one emitted by 'date'. In my instance that is 'Wed Mar 28 15:41:12 UTC 2018'. But that's not accepted. What *is* accepted is a Unix-style epoch timestamp (like tomorrow this time: '1522337946' sans quotes).

Can I get clarification on this? :-)

With Regards
