What I am trying to do: ======================
Use the /etc/shadow,/etc/passwd file on the server for user authenticatication.
I have configure (on the client) /etc/pam.d/common-auth with contents:
WARNING: Unprintable characters in the password. ? Double-check the shared secret on the server and the NAS!
It might be a 64-bit issue with the PAM RADIUS module. See it's source for details... I haven't really looked at it for a few years now.
Well, I have confirmed that if do NOT use amd64 Ubuntu/Dapper but a i386 Ubuntu/Dapper architecture my configuration works. That is, I created a user called test1 on the client and disabled the passwd, next created the same user on server and gave a passwd. Voila it works. I assume that radius does things in an encrypted manner...I get the impression it's tranmitting passwds in the clear? walter
