Hi Alan Did as you suggested - the error has gone I did put in the correct text in the sql statement (just did not want to rewrite in e-mail) and it was not this that was failing. The error was because I overwrote in the sql.conf file the radius_db with my database name - I commented out this and the error disappeared.

Some amount of independent thought is required. List "sql" in the "instantiate" section. DON'T put the rest of the text above. DO edit the "inner-tunnel" file. Look for the "authorize" section. The text above shows an EXAMPLE of what you put in the "authorize" section. That's why it uses the word "authorize" DON'T put the "..." text in the config files. That was meant to show that OTHER text was also in the "authorize" section. DON'T put the "..." text in the SQL query. That was meant to show the REST of the SQL query DO think about what you're doing. DO put the ENTIRE sql SELECT statement into the example text I showed above. > In the inner-tunnel file I commented out the sql in the authorize section. > > It seemed to work - see attached small snippet from my debug.

Go read MySQL documentation to see how to create a correct query. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
