Yes, I'm aware of that. I wrote that page. But that's referring to ISP's, who have users logging into a NAS. It is NOT referring to "single sign on", or to restricting shell access to Linux machines. > If I Do like this in the /etc/raddb/users file ... > Will this restrict the simultaneous login..

If you had bothered to run FreeRADIUS in debug mode as suggested in the FAQ, README, INSTALL, and pretty much daily on this list, you would have seen what the problem is. The server would have printed out messages telling you what the problem is, and how to fix it. > Could you please tell some thing solve this, so that i can use the > pam_radius module to authenticate the username/password , when i log in > the machine. Follow the documentation, and run the server in debugging mode. And even if you get pam_radius working, you will NOT be able to use Simultaneous-Use for Linux shell users.
