Re: Problem in authenticating user in NIS+ compat mode
Dear Alan, Thank you for your help. I uncommented the lines on those files as I thought they were required for Unix.

Why did you change the server to break it, and then complain on thelist that it's broken? As user info is stored in NIS+ tables, do you have anysuggestions/modifications on rlm_unix modules in order to read userinfo fom NIS+ tables. Yes. Use the server as it is. Don't edit the configuration filesto break the server. It works. Alan DeKok.- List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html

Dear Alan, I checked carefull when running radiusd -X, the radius server reads user info from /etc/passwd , /etc/shadow and /etc/group. As user info is stored in NIS+ tables, do you have any suggestions/modifications on rlm_unix modules in order to read user info fom NIS+ tables. Thank you.

Re: Problem in authenticating user in NIS+ compat mode
Hi, The user exists in the NIS+ system. Do I need rlm_passwd module included when compile? This was how I config. before comile: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freeradius.0.9.2 --localstatedir=/var --enabl e-ltdl-install --enable-ltdl-install This was added to the beginning of "users" file came with the tar ball: testuser Auth-Type := System Fall-Through = 1 There was no problem if the user entry was entered in the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. However the user cound not be authenticated if the user was added in NIS format: +testuser: Pls advise whether I have missed some moduels or config. Thank you very much.
