hi, I am using free Radius 2.0. I want to try to authenticate with the perl module, I've done all the necessary configurations in sites-enabled/default directory and in radiusd.conf and it reads my perl script when running my radius, unfortunately my radius server rejects all the time no matter what i've put the return value rlm_module_ok in my perl script. Please tell me is there any other things what i've to do to authenticate the username from perl module. Here is the output after running the radius server in debugging mode FreeRADIUS Version 2.0.2, for host i686-pc-linux-gnu, built on Feb 25 2008 at 09:51:36 Copyright (C) 1999-2008 The FreeRADIUS server project and contributors.
