Just to clear this up, with the help of the people on the here and the PacketFence list the problem has now been resolved.
There was a file called mschap.bkp in /etc/raddb/modules/ which once removed the requests went through as expected. The entry to allow all non-eap requests through in the users file is necessary for the purpose of the package so that devices authenticating using Mac-Authentication, or similar are allowed through.

I will seek further clarification on this through them directly.

I would say theres all kinds of things wrong with that package and you'd be best off working with just a fresh copy of FreeRADIUS built direct from source.... for one thing, it works straight out of the box once you've added a source of authentication (ie added an entry in users file or configured the ntlm_auth) ERROR: No authenticate method (Auth-Type) means that you dont have the required handler present to deal with the request. it worked before as you had a HUGE bodge in the users file saying that if the request wasnt EAP then just accept...no matter what! :-| you CANNOT (thankfully!) just blindly accept all EAP - there has to be a 2-way communication of trust and the setting up of crypto keys etc. to work with EAP and MSCHAP without EAP you will need to ensure the required modules are enabled and configured...so you're looking at eg mschap module and ntlm_auth module. alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
