Everyone - I'm being a bit brain dead most likely. I have been tinkering with Freeradius and MAC authentication successfully. Now I have a real server to build FR on so I proceeded to build the new server. After going through the *same* steps to build FR, duplicating the clients.conf and users file, I can't get the auth to work again. In my notes these were the two files I touched to get it going, but I'm hoping I missed something simple. My -Xy output looks like this: --- Walking the entire request list --- Waking up in 1 seconds... rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 10.10.18.208:1030, id=16, length=53 User-Name = "000e35-84610a" User-Password = "000e35-84610a" Processing the authorize section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group authorize for request 1 modcall[authorize]: module "preprocess" returns ok for request 1 modcall[authorize]: module "chap" returns noop for request 1 modcall[authorize]: module "mschap" returns noop for request 1 rlm_realm: No '@' in User-Name = "000e35-84610a", looking up realm NULL rlm_realm: No such realm "NULL" modcall[authorize]: module "suffix" returns noop for request 1 rlm_eap: No EAP-Message, not doing EAP modcall[authorize]: module "eap" returns noop for request 1 modcall[authorize]: module "files" returns notfound for request 1 rlm_pap: WARNING!

My users file: 000E35-84610A Cleartext-Password := "000E35-84610A" Any help to recover from my brain lapse would be greatly appreciated. Did I miss some other config tweak so it's looking at the user file? Thx in advance!
