Several additional notes:

1. The radius dictionaries used by Wireshark are those from 
freeradius.org with a few local changes.

See the README.radius_dictionary in wireshark/radius.

2. May I suggest that you also submit the updated dictionary.redback 
upstream to freeradius.org via their bugzilla or their mailing lists.
I'm guessing that it might be better to go that route.

3. The current Wireshark radius dictionaries are based upon the 
FreeRadius 2.1.6 [May-18-2009] release.

I note there's now a 2.1.7 release with some updated dictionaries.

I also note that when I made local changes based upon Wireshark bug 
reports and upon consulting vendor documentation that I failed to submit 
these changes upstream. If someone else doesn't get to this before me, 
I'll do the upstream report and update the current Wireshark radius 
dictionaries to those in FreeRadius 2.1.7. I should be able to do this 
within a few weeks.

Bill
