Really? They messed up big time then. You can try my ppa: https://launchpad.net/~freeradius/+archive/stable It was created based on Natty's 2.1.10, updated to 2.1.12 for lucid-oneiric and hardy. > >> You need a third-party supplicant that can send passwords in cleartext >> (e.g. TTLS-PAP, EAP-PEAP-GTC). >> > > Sorry I'm new to freeradius. How can I setup this supplicant. At work we use odyssey, but it's not free: http://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-services/software/ipc/odyssey-access-client/ wpa_suppllicant (http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/) might work as well, but last time I tried it's kinda hit-and-miss. > > I'd really like to use Unix passwords to authenticate and not create > another setup of passwords for users.

You can also do it the other way around: store the passwords as clear-text (nt-hash should also work, although I haven't tried), either in database (e.g. mysql) or LDAP, then use pam_radius or pam_ldap (only if you use ldap) so linux uses radius for authentication. -- Fajar - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
