In the unix section of radiusd.conf, try the following: cache = yes password = /path/to/passwd shadow = /path/to/passwd If your passwd file contains encrypted passwords (i.e. no shadow file), then using the above should allow you to cache the data. We are currently using this method to allow different realms to have their own passwd files, and just assigning different Auth-Type's depending on the realm. We'll be moving to SQL auth shortly, but for the time being, this is working quite well for us. Kevin - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
