Thanks Alan, I have discovered that if a user has /bin/false specified as a shell in the passwd file, they can't login with freeradius. All of our normal users do have /bin/false set.
If I change any user to /bib/bash or /bin/sh etc. then freeradius will authenticate them. Yes /bin/false exists. login will only work if the user has a valid shell, of course. Um, what next? On the matter of += System vs := System. The sample users files says to use += System. that would need fixing. Thanks for clarifying it.
