You will have to write a PostAuthHook to calculate the value and add a
Session-Timeout attribute with that value to the reply packet.
You should beware of this however, as some NAS equipment will have trouble
with large numeric values for Session-Timeout. YMMV.

A better way to deal with this problem may be to configure the NAS to send
interim accounting packets (Accounting Alives), to periodically send updated
accounting information. Many of our customers use this with services such as
ADSL, semi-permanent ISDN, etc.
