But notice the second error message, it attempts to make connection to database without the username and password. Any idea why?

Title: RE: (RADIATOR) having problem talking to Oracle I took out 2 comment lines in the config file, but later restored it and it still didn't work. There are multiple users on this box, so they might have changed something in the environment. Any suggestion where I can start to look?

There are multiple users on this box, so they might have changed something in the environment. Any suggestion where I can start to look? I would suggest reinstalling DBI and DBD-Oracle. You could also completely reinstall a separate copy of Perl and Radiator and compare the two installations at each step of the way. hth Hugh -- Radiator: the most portable, flexible and configurable RADIUS server anywhere.
