Alan, Thank you for the response. Was your first input:
"Don't set Auth-Type. User "Cleartext-Password := ...", not "User-Password == ..." a correction of what I am using or syntax to accomplish the unknown/known user issue? In other words which syntax takes care of the unknown users and which takes care of the known users? I am still unclear about how freeradius identifies and returns values for unknown users.

Yup. That's a common configuration. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
