Because of the issues I've been having with authentication with Freeradius I started from scratch and used RPM to remove Freeradius and then re-installed the latest version.
I needed to be able to accept both PAP and CHAP authentication, however I couldn't get it to do both and had to by default to get it to auth everyone no matter what the password should be. But I don't see this as ideal.
Since I took over the radius server from someone else I'm guessing it had been changed by the previous person to the extend where only a re- install would solve the problem.
I read that out of the box Freeradius would accept both PAP and CHAP authentication as long as the password was in clear text and I used "Password ==".
So I re-installed Freeradius version freeradius-1.0.1-3.RHEL4.3 and convert all the entries from Auth-Type := Accept to "Password == <password>" where <password> was the users password. ...snip...
DEFAULT Auth-Type = System
Fall-Through = 1 ...snip...
Auth-Type = System is for reading the user names from the password file IIRC. Try : Auth-Type = Local
