I'm not entirely familiar with using Kerberos, and it may be one
where you need to set Auth-Type in certain circumstances. But you
definitely don't want to be doing it there because the users file
is read in both the outer and inner virtual servers, and the outer
is EAP.

You *might* need to do

  update control {
    Auth-Type := Kerberos
  }

in your inner-tunnel virtual server authorize section. 

But if you're doing Kerberos for all PAP requests then you should
be able to forget this and change the "pap" line into:

  Auth-Type PAP {
    krb5
  }

in the inner-tunnel authenticate section instead. i.e. if the pap
module has recognised the auth request, then authenticate it with
krb5.

This is why we ask for the full radiusd -X debug output....

Trying to debug blind is rather difficult and annoying. :(

OK, should be good then.
