> Is the user in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow? Yes
>If so, check permissions /etc/shadow was chgrp'd to radiusd in spite of John Dennis' warnings to the contrary -- BUT I forgot to change the read permission -- my fault totally -- >Which file did I tell you to modify? modules/passwd edited as follows: passwd { filename = /etc/shadow format = "*User-Name::Crypt-Password::::::" hashsize = 100 ignorenislike = no allowmultiplekeys = no and site-enabled/default edited to include passwd in the authorize section and voila' it works -- thanks!! --- BUT ------ you and John Dennis both mentioned PAM so I went ahead and commented out the passwd entires and I am now looking at PAM per your suggestion. Installed the pam-radius client per http://freeradius.org/pam_radius_auth/ and made the changes to /etc/pam.d/. Created the file /etc/raddb/server and uncommented pam from sites-enabled/default. Added Default Auth-Type = PAM to the users file. Now I get this output after running radtest rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 49068, id=108, length=56 User-Name = "test" User-Password = "password" NAS-IP-Address = 10.0.10.21 NAS-Port = 0 +- entering group authorize {...} ++[preprocess] returns ok ++[chap] returns noop ++[mschap] returns noop [suffix] No '@' in User-Name = "test", looking up realm NULL [suffix] No such realm "NULL" ++[suffix] returns noop [eap] No EAP-Message, not doing EAP ++[eap] returns noop ++[unix] returns updated [files] users: Matched entry DEFAULT at line 205 ++[files] returns ok ++[expiration] returns noop ++[logintime] returns noop [pap] Found existing Auth-Type, not changing it. ++[pap] returns noop Found Auth-Type = PAM +- entering group authenticate {...} pam_pass: using pamauth string <radiusd> for pam.conf lookup pam_pass: function pam_authenticate FAILED for <test>.

Not sure why it sez "pam_pass: using pamauth string <radiusd> for pam.conf lookup" whne it is set to look at /etc/pam.d/radiusd Thoughts? many thanks in advance radiusd -X now yields: [r...@labprinter raddb]# radiusd -X FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.7, for host x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, built on Mar 31 2010 at 00:14:28 Copyright (C) 1999-2009 The FreeRADIUS server project and contributors.
