I apologize if I came across as anti-social Alan. To me, Arran's wording seemed very insipid so I answered how I felt. I am certainly not someone who relishes in starting trouble and do not seek to alienate myself from any assistance this forum can provide. Here is another try at presenting what I sent in the email you deleted. Basically this is where I am at... Me: I stood up a new server with a new IP address and version 2.2.2 which is replacing another server running 2.1.8 and am unable to get a device with PAP selected to authenticate as it does on the older server. You: RADIUS is *very* dependent on IP addresses. Me: I understand. I had even shutdown the IP on the production server for a moment and brought up the same IP on the new server, modified the listen lines in radiusd.conf and restarted radius on the new server..but no change. Me: Here is the output from starting up freeradius 2.2.2 in -Xxx debug mode You: PLEASE follow instructions. We don't need the extra crap produced by "-Xxx". Just "-X" is good enough. Me: Okay, henceforth I will only post -X output. Me: If anyone can help me to resolve this I would be greatly appreciative. I can answer any questions and post configuration file contents if required. You: The point of the debug output is that you usually don't need to post the config files. The ones which are used produce useful information in the debug output. The ones which aren't used don't matter. Me: Okay, henceforth I will refrain from offering to post config files.
From my debug: Fri Nov 15 09:25:30 2013 : Info: ++[eap] = noop Fri Nov 15 09:25:30 2013 : Info: [files] users: Matched entry dwnek at line 22 Fri Nov 15 09:25:30 2013 : Info: [files] expand: Hello, %{User-Name} -> Hello, dwnek You: So... what's that entry on line 22? Does it contain a password for the user? Me: The entry on line 22 of the users file is my username of dwnek. The following two lines contain the following.. Reply-Message = "Hello, %{User-Name}", Symbol-Admin-Role = SuperUser,
From my debug: Fri Nov 15 09:25:30 2013 : Info: [pap] WARNING! No "known good" password found for the user. Authentication may fail because of this. You: Which means that entry doesn't contain a password for the user. Me: That is correct. On the old server we are using passwords in /etc/shadow to authenticate users.
Me: I got it working by uncommenting the "unix" line under the "authorize" section of the raddb/sites-available/default file. I am hoping that this was the best way to fix authenticating users via /etc/shadow? I am guessing that I should probably uncomment it under the "authenticate" and "accounting" sections as well? I am now just seeking a response to my last two statements about how I got it to work.

Thank you Arran... your last remark was EXTREMELY un-helpful.
You should have found it very helpful. I couldn't make head or tails out of your last message, because it was so mis-formatted. So I deleted it. i.e. your anti-social mail client means we're less inclined to help you. If you want help, your *last* priority should be making it difficult for people to help you.
