That is what I meant.  I would not have assumed to actually add every user as 
a MySQL user, but to enter their user/password data into the 'radius' 
database.

I have in fact read the debugging info and I'm not quite sure what to think of 
it.  I have manually executed the sql statements that are output with the 
debug info and all of the information appears to be coming back 
appropriately.  I'm not sure if I do not have enough entries in the tables in 
the database or if I have the incorrect entries or if I have not used the 
correct operators.  I'm completely at a loss as to what to do or where to 
even start debugging more, if that's possible.  I'm under orders to implement 
a radius solution with user/passwords stored in MySQL to replace the current 
Merit/LDAP setup and I only have a certain amount of time in which to do 
this.  I have tried ICRadius, which I was able to get to authenticate, 
however, the I was unable to get the limitation of Simultaneous-Use working, 
so that's not feasible, I've been working with Freeradius all day, every day 
this week and I'm still unable to unauthenticate from user information stored 
in MySQL.  I've spent every day reading through the archives, posting to the 
list, trying configuration changes, trying database data changes to no avail.  
My last option is to try Radiator, which I have installed the demo for, but 
I'm not comfortable with anything regarding its configuration or database 
structure.

It seems that I must just be missing something very simple, but I just can't 
put my finger on it.

Sorry, I got caught in the ramble.  This has been quite frustrating.  I 
appreciate all of the help everybody has provided.  If anybody comes up with 
any ideas, or has any configuration and database layout information that they 
would like to share, please feel free to email me.

Thanks,
