Alan, to you it is insanely obvious, to a first timer reading hundreds of lines of "potentially" useful output, the critical bits are "buried in the noise" -- would it have really taken that long for you to say: > Full Debug in formation [...] > rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1:1025, id=152, length=57 [...] > User-Name = "rudra" > User-Password = "rudra" > NAS-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255 > NAS-Port = 10 This [hopefully obvious] section shows you what the server parsed out of the request > users: Matched DEFAULT at 152 This important line tells you what the server believes to be the "user" to be validated [...] > rad_check_password: Found Auth-Type System this important line tells us that we'll be looking up the user in the /etc/passwd file, i.e., we expect the user to be a regular user of the linux server itself > modcall[authenticate]: module "unix" returns notfound > modcall: group authenticate returns notfound > auth: Failed to validate the user. and as you might imagine, we don't find a user called "rudra" in the system. Things to check: [ok alan, this is where it gets subjective, and I'm sure for you overly repetitive -- NOW you can refer someone to a FAQ (if it's in there) and specifically WHERE in the FAQ to start looking] -- the conf file to figure out why the wrong authentication method was being used [i.e., "system"] -- the user's file to figure out why the user "rudra" wasn't found/matched -- any databases in use? properly configured? right "op" values? Not the exact answer, but some directions for someone new to this to start looking... -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net
