Access from Freeradius to MySQL is working fine but user 'dummy' does not get authenticated. After hours of searching through my setup it seems to me that the problem is rather related to my Freeradius configuration than to MySQL.

  See your "users" file:

++[unix] returns notfound
[files] users: Matched entry DEFAULT at line 70


  That entry is forcing "Auth-Type := System".

  Don't do that.
