  You don't.

  The default configuration shipped with the server makes it
authenticate against the passwd file.

How to use unix /etc/passwd to authenticate users through AP ?

[Yi-Wen Liu]

Hi:
    I want to use unix account (/etc/passwd) to authenticate 
users. But I don't know how to generate 
packets with [Auth-Type := System] from user.
This is my configuration files:
 
 --    
radiusd.conf
unix 
{    
#.    
#  Cache /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and 
/etc/group    
# allowed values: {no, 
yes}    
cache = 
yes    
#    
# Reload the cache every 600 seconds (10mins). 0 to 
disable.    
cache_reload = 
600    
#.    
# This is required for some systems, like 
FreeBSD,    
#  and Mac 
OSX.    
#    
passwd = 
/etc/passwd    
shadow = 
/etc/shadow    
group = /etc/group
#...
radwtmp 
= ${logdir}/radwtmp}
  -      
users-
DEFAULT Auth-Type := System
                
    Fall-Through = Yes
 
 
    Users are mobile nodes and a NAS is an AP in our 
testbed.
Please help me. Thanks a lot!
