Users:L-
Hints:-R

Additivity:Append
Proxy propagated:No

Use the Hint attribute to specify additional matching criteria depending on the hint (see Request Processing Hints — raddb/hints).

Let the hints file contain 

DEFAULT         Prefix = "S", Strip-User-Name = No
                Hint = "SLIP"

and the users file contain 

DEFAULT Hint = "SLIP",
                NAS-IP-Address = 11.10.10.12,
                Auth-Type = System
        Service-Type = Framed-User,
                Framed-Protocol = SLIP

Then any user having a valid system account and coming from NAS ‘11.10.10.12’ will be provided SLIP service if his user name starts with ‘S’.
