Dear User for Free Radius mail list,

passwd  file  doesn't  contain  any passwords or hashes, so it's useless
without shadow.

If  you  store  your  passwords in plain text file format different from
linux  passwd/shadow  files  consider  to  use  rlm_passwd  module.  See
doc/rlm_passwd.

UfFRml> If you say "no" to the "cache" option:

UfFRml>    #  For FreeBSD, you do NOT want to enable the cache,
UfFRml>                 #  as it's password lookups are done via a database.
UfFRml>                 #
UfFRml>                 # allowed values: {no, yes}
UfFRml>                 cache = no

UfFRml> It loads up just fine.


UfFRml> Is there something I'm missing or is the the default behavior of this
UfFRml> setup?

UfFRml> Thanks,

UfFRml> Ken Rea
