Re: cannot authenticate system users

2001-10-21 Thread Mervyn Jack

Thanks Alan,

I have discovered that if a user has /bin/false specified as a shell in the passwd
file, they can't login with freeradius. All of our normal users do have /bin/false
set.

If I change any user to /bib/bash or /bin/sh etc. then freeradius will
authenticate them.
Yes /bin/false exists.
login will only work if the user has a valid shell, of course.

Um, what next?


On the matter of += System vs := System. The sample users files says to use +=
System. that would need fixing.
Thanks for clarifying it.

Thanks
Mervyn

   Auth-Type := System

  The only thing on this box that is might affect the operation, is the
  passwd, shadow and group files have been copied over from an older
  debian linux box.

   Then you should verify that they work via 'login', etc.

huntgroups by client ip

2001-10-21 Thread Mervyn Jack

Hi list.
The nation-wide provider of dial-up ports that we are renting some ports
off, will not/cannot give us the NAS-IP-Address's that our customers
calls may come in on. Due to the fact there are too many, and they may
change.
Can you do Huntgroup selections by something other than NAS-IP-Address?

If got these to play with.

rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 203.xxx.xxx.120:1812, id=206,
length=265
NAS-IP-Address = 203.xxx.xxx.49
NAS-Port-Type = Async
Called-Station-Id = 142
Calling-Station-Id = 3587x

Framed-Protocol = PPP

Problem solved, thanks to a friend, not on this list.
I needed to put /bin/false in /etc/shells.

Oracle 8.1.6

2001-10-21 Thread Ahsan Ali

Hello everybody!

I'm trying to get the current snapshot of freeradius to work with Oracle
8.1.6 (i) - are there any patches that need to be applied before compiling
Oracle support in? If I am not mistaken, I remember hearing Alan say
something about patches being needed for versions of Oracle 7.

Thank you.

Users w/o shell accts can't authenticate..?

2001-10-21 Thread Steve Cabito


I hope this is an easy one:

Users who have a shell (/bin/bash) authenticate OK.

Users who don't (/bin/false) don't.
.
.
auth: type System
.
modcall[authenticate]: module unix return reject
.
.
.
Since very few users have shell accounts, this is a problem for me. Am 
I missing something obvious??

My users file
-

DEFAULT Auth-Type := System
Framed-IP-Address = 255.255.255.254,
Framed-MTU = 1500,
Service-Type = Framed-User,
Framed-Protocol = PPP,
Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobson-TCP-IP
-

I'm not using shadow passwords.

Thanks!

-Steve
