Hi Shimon,

In the /usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default file, comment out the unix module.

        #

        #  Pull crypt'd passwords from /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow,

        #  using the system API's to get the password.  If you want

        #  to read /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow directly, see the

        #  passwd module in radiusd.conf.

        #

#      unix                           <--------- Comment out this line

Subject: auth: Failed to validate the user - NEED SOME HELP !

Hello,

My name is Shimon from the Open Univ. of Israel. I installed freeradius and I want the

Users to authenticate with /etc/raddb/users file NOT /etc/passwd file.

Below is a printout of /usr/sbin/radius –X –y
