Re: FR caching problem

Error: rlm_unix: You MUST specify a shadow password file!

This error occurs because your system has /etc/shadow, and getspwent().

I am using the /etc/passwd and /etc/group for authentication. I am not using /etc/shadow. Does FR require an /etc/shadow path even if it is not used?

No. It requires /etc/shadow only if it's being used. And in general, caching in rlm_unix is a bad idea. See the comments in radiusd.conf.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Use rlm_passwd for caching. Use rlm_unix for non-caching systems. Alan DeKok.
