  Please don't use the "master" branch unless you are VERY familiar with RADIUS.  v4 is in heavy development, and may not even work from day to day.

  Why are you using v4?

  There's no need to add ** around everything.  Just paste the text.

  And, why are you adding that attribute?  What is it for?

  Well, that seems simple enough.  The name is getting truncated.  Don't use "." in an attribute name.

  Or, use v3.
