Ok, now here is the situation: clients.conf: I have kept it at its default settings client 127.0.01 secret = testing123 shortname = localhost users: Also at default with the exception of an added = DEFAULT Auth-Type == System Fall-Through = 1 radiusd.conf: Also default except I've uncommented passwd = /etc/passwd shadow = /etc/shadow group = /etc/group I am testing from the radius server (localhost) itself using the command: "radtest radius radius localhost 1812 testing123" I have a user "radius" with a password "radius" in group "radius" but I am still getting the reply: "Auth: rlm_unix: [radius]: invalid password" What am I missing?
