  That is absolutely not what I said to do.  I didn't say to use an "update" section.  I said to add a "Local-Vendor-Name" in raddb/dictionary.  I didn't say to use "Vendor".

  Add the "vendor" line to the *client* definition, in the "clients.conf" file.  Then, you can dynamically expand it via a %{client:vendor}.  i.e.

	update request {
		Local-Vendor-Name := "%{client:vendor}"
	}

   Since you didn't actually put the %{client:vendor} text anywhere, there's no surprise that it doesn't get expanded.
