I can't authenticate using /etc/passwd file

[Godfred Ofori-Som]

Hello,

I am new to radius but i have been able to set it up to work, the funny 
thing is i can authenticate with the passwd file if i dont have a Default 
entry point to sql. As soon as i do that i can authenticate users in mysql 
database but cannot authenticate users in passwd file. Below is an extract 
of my user file and the result with radtest. what am i doing wrong

DEFAULT Auth-Type += System
 Fall-Through = Yes

DEFAULT AUTH-Type := sql, Simultaneous-Use := 1
 Service-Type = Framed-User,
 Framed-Protocol = PPP,
 Framed-IP-Address = 255.255.255.254,
 Framed-MTU = 1500,
 Fall-Through = Yes

user in passwd file
=
bash-2.03# radtest nana nana mantse-1 1645 qwer
Sending Access-Request of id 146 to 196.3.64.39:1645
