Bryan,
I found that same site and it's what I used orginally to get everything set up. I was going to purchase this book, but it's more then I want to spend on a book for a small nonn-production server. I thought I had followed the site so everything would work, but I guess not. Does anyone have any ideas how I can use the system usernames and passwords to authenticate users?

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.
The site is http://www.oreilly.de/catalog/radius/chapter/ch05.html
Best Regards, Bryan

Sweet, that worked. 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?

I'm trying to use FreeRadius as an authentication server to authenticate wireless network users. I have it installed and configured, but I don't have it configured correctly evidently. In the users file, I have a user bob with the password bob. If I use the command "radtest bob bob localhost 0 test", I recieve an access-reject message.
And the log message tells you why:
rad_check_password: Found Auth-Type System auth: type "System" modcall: entering group authenticate for request 3 modcall[authenticate]: module "unix" returns notfound for request 3 modcall: group authenticate returns notfound for request 3 auth: Failed to validate the user.
Something in the configuration is telling the server to authenticate people via "System" (/etc/passwd). It's probably in the "users" file. Fix that, and it should work.
users: Matched DEFAULT at 152 modcall[authorize]: module "files" returns ok for request 3
It's probably at line 152.
Since it didn't match anything else in the "users" file, it looks like your attempt to add "bob" to the "users" file didn't work.
