Check the archives.However when I use a user that DOES exist in the passwd file I get a username and password error when I know well what my own password is.
Also, if I'm no mistaken I should be able to "authorize" from mysql am I not
correct?
forgive my wording in the first post.
I answered this question in detail a couple times last week.
Here it is is short form:
If you only want users from your database then comment out the "files" entry in the authorize section of radiusd.conf or this allows you to have entries in users an your database :
In your users file, comment out :
DEFAULT Auth-Type = System Fall-Through = 1
In your sql tables : Do NOT include any Auth-Type entries.
For clear text passwords use : User-Password = "cleartext"
For encrypted passwords use : Crypt-Password = "encryptedpassword"
Now Cleartext and encrypted passwords will work in "users" and sql, you can also use Auth-Type = System on a per user entry in "users" if you want to authenticate from your unix password file, I would suggest you use the "users" file or sql but not both.
