<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=252540018-28092005>Hi. I'm fairly new
to the RADIUS stuff. I'm trying to setup FreeRadius 1.0.1 as a failover
(secondary) server on a remote network. I've RadTest-ed and NTRadPing-ed the
basic installation and it seems to work fine. My current RADIUS server is a
commercial product running on a Win 2k machine (local network).

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=252540018-28092005>Exporting the
clients & users data from this server for use in the FreeRadius server gave
me encrypted secrets for both clients & users. The secret strings I get
are all 264 characters long. I tried using these as-is in
'clients.conf' and the 'users' files. FreeRadius won't even start with
these. Should I be using these encrypted secrets in the clients.conf & users
files at all or should I ask for the cleartext secrets from the NAS clients
and use those instead? I'm using plain PPP (NAS clients' requirement). Does that
mean I can use PAP and CHAP authentication or PAP only?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
