Your memory lives in San Francisco ? ;)

Yes, that functionality did change (I don't recall why, but there is a way
to still achieve this)....

Correct.

We assume a default now, rather than allowing any service....except when the
MAX is configured with:

Auth Send Attr. 6,7=No.   (/ethernet/mod config/auth.../)

Then it works as it did before (or I'll hear back from you ;).
