Run the server with no modules, what type of packet does it return? Run the server with the PAP module enabled and a clean SQL schema what does it return? With that, a knowledge of SQL, and the location of the config file you have everything you need to know. Did any of that require a list post? No.. Posting to the list is not an alternative to RTFM or RTFW (in this case). >> you can alter the query so that it only returns 'enabled' users. > > If you talk about altering queries, you assume that someone also has > knowledge about the data model (table and column names, in particular). rlm_sql doesn't care about column names, it just deals with indexes.

I'm not going to waste my time debating this with you. The phrasing the OP used was completely inappropriate for a volunteer based support list, end of story. I have nothing against the OP, in fact if you'd checked, you'd see that i've answered a number of his other questions... So why you felt the need to step in and intervene is beyond me. -Arran Arran Cudbard-Bell [email protected] RADIUS - Waging war on ignorance and apathy one Access-Challenge at a time. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
