Yes, freeradius does not care what authentication request are coming in, whether PAP/CHAP or system authenticated accounts. If freeradius was configured properly, it will reply as it was tasked to do. > The problem I'm having is if a user loges in with no realm (PAP) and > there user name is in the system files, it doesn't work.
