I do</span><span>n't want to use the <span class="highlight">USERS</span> <span class="highlight">file</span> as it stores passwords in clear text </span><span>which is what we're trying to avoid.</span><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>> Hi,<br>> <br>> > I am a newbie to free radius, I need to know what changes are required in<br>> > radiusd.conf or any other file in order to authenticate clients requests<br>> > through local machine users(etc/passwd or etc/shadow) instead of making<br>> > users in the raddb/users file.<br>> <br>> add users to the system passwd/shadow file, ensure that the 'unix' module<br>> is enabled. <br>> <br>> answer based on the scarce info provided<br>> <br>> alan<br>> -<br>> List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
