Hello group, I try to migrate a freeradius-Server from 1.1.7 to 2.0.3 using the new 2.0 syntax. Authentication uses the plain textfile /etc/raddb/users. Although my test-user matches an entry, I get an error-message "auth: No authenticate method (Auth-Type)..." I have no idea how to change this Auth-Type. The exact error you can see in an excerpt of radiusd -X: #radiusd -X FreeRADIUS Version 2.0.3, for host i686-pc-linux-gnu, built on Apr 3 2008 at 13:33:47 Copyright (C) 1999-2008 The FreeRADIUS server project and contributors.

In short these entries: /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf: [...] files { usersfile = ${confdir}/users acctusersfile = ${confdir}/acct_users preproxy_usersfile = ${confdir}/preproxy_users compat = cistron } [...] $INCLUDE sites-enabled/ /etc/raddb/sites-available/default: authorize { preprocess } authenticate { } [...] Do I need rlm_pap now in 2.0.3 for using "files"-authentication? Any ideas, how I can make users/files authentication work again? Greetings, oz
