OK.. so the error *was* being produced by the PAM subsystem, as I said. Investigating that subsystem found the problem, and the solution. And yes, the FreeRADIUS PAM file needs to be fixed. >>> Blaming FreeRADIUS is the same as blaming Dell Selective editing does not help your cause. The quote was: >> Blaming FreeRADIUS is the same as blaming Dell because the internet >> is slow. The comparison to Dell was because as the computer manufacturer, they get *enormous* numbers of complaints from inexperienced users, sating things like "facebook is slow!" Similarly, a large number of questions on this list are things like "how do I get the NAS to do X". The answer is almost always "read the NAS documentation". Some people end up being offended by this. I have no idea why. > Hmmm--rather defensive are we??? --Alan, no one is blaming anybody for > anything....it was a simple and honest question that was also posted a few > years ago and remained unanswered -- until now, by me as above. My response was a simple and honest one; If subsystem X is producing an error message... you should really go investigate subsystem X. The answers will usually be found there.

Sadly, I do no such thing, though it's clear you would in a similar situation. You've taken a simple request to investigate the root cause of the problem, and turned it into a personal attack on me. And you're saying *I* have a chip on my shoulder? Please, don't pretend to have the moral high ground here. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
