  That's OK.  The parser is forgiving (i.e. dumb)

  No.  The operators have nothing to do with integers or strings.

  If you have a spare desktop machine, install FreeRADIUS on it.

  The docs could be updated, but it's not critical.

Doc bug?

[Stefan Winter]

Hello,

in doc/Acct-Type all the examples state things like
Acct-Type:= "SQLFOO"
but in the dictionary, Acct-Type is defined as an integer.
I am now asking myself if one shouldn't better use integer values for the := 
operator, and as well whether or not it will work anyway as described in the 
documentation (I would just try it out but I could only use our production 
server, which I don't particularly like to touch unless necessary). BTW, same 
thing for Autz-Type.
At least I find it confusing. Can anyone clarify this? 

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
