<Sigh> It turns out the error is caused by a typo in the radiusd file provided in /redhat/radiusd-pam, NOT by the pam subsystem. In fact, the pam subsystem was merely reporting the error in the freeradius file. The message "module not found" was because the radiusd-pam file was pointing to password.so NOT passwd.so
OK.. so the error *was* being produced by the PAM subsystem, as I said. Investigating that subsystem found the problem, and the solution. And yes, the FreeRADIUS PAM file needs to be fixed.
Blaming FreeRADIUS is the same as blaming Dell
Selective editing does not help your cause. The quote was:
Blaming FreeRADIUS is the same as blaming Dell because the internet is slow.
The comparison to Dell was because as the computer manufacturer, they get *enormous* numbers of complaints from inexperienced users, sating things like "facebook is slow!" Similarly, a large number of questions on this list are things like "how do I get the NAS to do X". The answer is almost always "read the NAS documentation". Some people end up being offended by this. I have no idea why.
Hmmm--rather defensive are we??? --Alan, no one is blaming anybody for anything....it was a simple and honest question that was also posted a few years ago and remained unanswered -- until now, by me as above.
My response was a simple and honest one; If subsystem X is producing an error message... you should really go investigate subsystem X. The answers will usually be found there. Is that so offensive?
However I do find it interesting that you compare the customer service you provided on this to that provided by Dell -- if the shoe fits.....
If you *intentionally* edit my comments so as to misrepresent them, it shows the paucity of your arguments.

Eduroam?
and our internal listserv on radius frequently talks people off of freeradius solely because of the sarcastic and chip on the shoulder attitude of "some" of the developers.
"Some"... but you're not naming names...
Quit being such a Mordac Alan, it scares the tourists and devalues the otherwise excellent work done by other people on this project.
Implying that the only excellent work is done by *other* people, and not me.
You can ban me now for such a ghastly breach of etiquette.
Sadly, I do no such thing, though it's clear you would in a similar situation. You've taken a simple request to investigate the root cause of the problem, and turned it into a personal attack on me. And you're saying *I* have a chip on my shoulder? Please, don't pretend to have the moral high ground here. Alan DeKok.
