Hi I currently running the following system: Server: FreeRadius, MySQL Client: pam_radius_auth, libnss_mysql.so I use the freeradius to auth and account ssh logins, here is my pam.d/sshd file on the client. #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_radius_auth.so debug auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so account sufficient /lib/security/pam_radius_auth.so debug account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required /lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022 session sufficient /lib/security/pam_radius_auth.so debug conf=/etc/radiusclient/servers session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so Now when I authenticate I can see that the Calling-Station-ID gets passed, but when I do authentication that field seems to be missing.

Sleeping until we see a request. As you can see the CallingStationId is empty, also there is no mention of it in the Accounting request packet. If this is not supported by the accounting, is there a way to get it from the authentication section? Would also like to say that I know this is more related to the PAM module and I assume this makes this mail a bit out of context in this mail group, but any help would be most appreciated.
