Hi, We're experimenting with freeradius for authenticating users in a custom application. It was straightforward to get this authenticating against the OS: DEFAULT Auth-Type = System But what we want to do is maintain a list of usernames and crypt passwords in an external file, separate to the operating system users. The rlm_passwd module should do what we want but I'm having some trouble getting it to work. In the radiusd.conf modules section I have: passwd our_passwd { filename = /tmp/testpwd format = "*User-Name:Crypt-Password" hashsize = 100 ignorenislike = no allowmultiplekeys = no } In sites-enabled/default I added "our_passwd" to the authorize section. I think that part is essentially working and on my random walks running freeradius -X it looks like it is reading our passwd file okay. The thing I do not understand is what to put as the Auth-Type in the users file in order to authenticate against our file rather than against the OS? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave
