Carl I read some of your post and have a web page that has an excerpt from an O'rielly book about radius that specifically talks about setting up Freeradius. I used this book and this procedure to get mine running with mysql as the backend. With that being the setup you can make a script or whatever to just insert user info into the DB and not have to stop reload and restart the Radius server. I do it with .net and php and it works very nicely.

However, by turning off system authentication, I would manually have to enter users; this is just a test server, so for the time being, I want to authenticate users based on if they have an account on the server. I had tried using DEFAULT Auth-Type = System Fall-Through = 1 but that wasn't working. Any ideas?
