Hi, all I'm trying to use dial-in ppp server with the folloing config: mgetty monitors modem. On detecting AutoPPP fires pppd (with pam support) pppd authorize user via radiusd throug pam_radius_auth.so get from freeradius.org.
The problem is the following: User authenticated only if he exists in /etc/passwd on machine, where mgetty+pppd lives! And his password in /etc/shadow doesn't matter. he just need to be a local user. Can anybody tell me why do I need to have this user? AFAIK mgetty register a_ppp user, not user authenticating throu PAP. Radiusd authentication succeded in any case (I'v seen success message from pam_radius_auth in /var/log/syslog) of user existance in local pwdb. I have the following config for pam: /etc/pam.d/ppp: auth required pam_nologin.so auth sufficient pam_radius_auth.so debug session required pam_radius_auth.so TIA Alex
