Leonard, What *you* are misunderstanding is that there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY for ANY system (Cistron, FreeRADIUS, or otherwise) to be able to authenticate CHAP passwords with ONLY a standard salted crypt() password, which is what the /etc/passwd systems use. The /etc/passwd passwords are one-way password hashes in a different hashing style than CHAP.
Also, f you think you have your Cistron server authenticating CHAP handshakes against /etc/passwd, you either have some other password helpers you're not telling us about, or you don't understand what you're doing with Cistron either. Something here doesn't add up, and it's frustrating the list and getting you no help. -- --Mike ----------------------------------- Michael Griego Wireless LAN Project Manager The University of Texas at Dallas - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
