Read radiusd.conf, and look for "/etc/passwd". Odds are that you enabled caching of /etc/passw. There's a reason it's not enabled by default, it doesn't work on FreeBSD. Which is explicitly documented. No, that isn't the cause as I have the following in radiusd.conf: ... unix { # allowed values: {no, yes} cache = no
OK...
# This is required for some systems, like FreeBSD, # and Mac OSX. passwd = /etc/passwd
Those should be commented out.
Maybe radiusd doesn't have permission to call getpwent()? See the comments around the "unix" module in radiusd.conf.

Thanks Alan. The lines: passwd = /etc/passwd shadow = /etc/shadow group = /etc/group should be commented out for FreeBSD even though in radiusd.conf the comment directly above states "This is required for some systems, like FreeBSD, and Mac OS" I missed the comment previous to this one which totally changes the meaning of the quoted comment above. Maybe that blank line should be removed between such comments to help some other newbie avoid similar problems. Thanks again, Shane
