Alan,

My problem is that I have to rewrite the SQL code to go fetch the right
databases. I understand the "authenticate" means something different. I
have to swap out a live ISP environment, so I don't have a go with the
flow way of doing it. 

I need a little understanding to do this. 

Cisco Authenticate --> calls --> What code to fetch from SQL

Cisco Authorize --> calls -->  What code to fetch from SQL. 

There are the terms, authorize and authenticate in both radiusd.conf,
and sql.conf. 

I do appreciate the help, I am not too thick, I just need to know what
to do. 

After I need to be able to have AVPairs answered back to set speed and
things, and there is a custom database, (billing software) that I need
to do this with.

All the best,

  It doesn't.  That's the point.  Even in 0.4, it didn't authenticate to
the SQL server.

  Q: Do you really want all of your users to have accounts where they
     can access the SQL database?

  A: No, so you don't "authenticate" to the SQL server.

  You store passwords in SQL, and the server figures out what to do from
there.

  To put it another way, your question is based on the wrong
assumptions, so the question itself is wrong.  Throw away your
assumptions.

  My original answer stands.  Please READ it, and BELIEVE it.

  The server will figure out what to do on its own.
