Accounting additional attributes

[Uwe Freier]

Hello again,

for any reason the attributes ADSL-Agent-Circuit-Id und
ADSL-Agent-Remote-Id shall be accounted. My NAS sends them with each
packet to the radius but there are no columns for them in the table
radacct. So in my infinite naivity I simply would add this columns to
table radacct and modify the SQL query "accounting_start_query" from
/sql/mysql/dialup.conf so that these values are written each time an
accounting starts (sure they must be only accounted once per session).
Is this a legitime way or is it dangerous to modify the structure of the
table radacct for any reason and there is a better way to account
additional attributes?

Many thanks in advance!

That's the correct way to do it.
