Heh, I think your English is better than mine!

Wow, this is great work! Thank you very much -- I really appreciate
it. I will put your libradius changes into -current, and then into
3.x-stable a week or two later. I'm not so sure about 2.2-stable.
It's really considered to be a dead branch at this point. Nothing
is being committed there any more, except (rarely) serious security
fixes.

Hmm, I suppose we could extend the syntax somehow in a compatible way.
*auth #the initial default for backward compatibility
<auth lines>
*acct
<acct lines>
But I don't think it's worth it. Your solution is fine.
Would you mind sending your patches again using send-pr, and then
telling me the PR number? Then your patches will be in the GNATS
database where they won't be lost. And I'll receive weekly reminders
from a cron job somewhere nagging me to commit the stuff. If that's
too much trouble, then don't worry. You can nag me yourself instead.
:-) There's a possiblity I won't get it done before I have to leave
for FreeBSDCon next week, and I don't want to forget it after that.
Thanks again for this contribution!
John
