Sorry about that. Forgot to change the subject line. Yesterday I put our mirror drive in service after a recommendation here with 0.9.3 and the system is running fine. I decided to try and find out why the system would not work after an update. So I started all over with a completely new install of the radius and put everything in it's /opt directory The only part the does not work is the chap authentication all other authentication works as it should. Our wholesale provider says we are doing PAP just fine but no chap. They had very old instructions for Freeradius but decided to start out with a totally clean install. This user below is in mysql database, and the system passwd/shadow files. He will not authenticate with the mysql database when we include a realm @domain and chap password. It gets the slipstream false from the database so I'm not sure why it won't authenticate the rest. When I do this with the 0.9.3 that is currently running it works fine with the realm. I did diff on the radiusd.conf and the sql.conf files, and work at all the settings to be as close to the old one as possible. A couple new items in the files I did not know right off what they were for and left them as default. The last time we installed 0.9.3 we actually had help to config it to running step by step email instruction but that person is not around any longer. It was running in 45 minutes. here is the radius -x Starting - reading configuration files ... reread_config: reading radiusd.conf Config: including file: /opt/freeradius/etc/raddb/proxy.conf Config: including file: /opt/freeradius/etc/raddb/clients.conf Config: including file: /opt/freeradius/etc/raddb/snmp.conf Config: including file: /opt/freeradius/etc/raddb/eap.conf Config: including file: /opt/freeradius/etc/raddb/sql.conf main: prefix = "/opt/freeradius" main: localstatedir = "/opt/freeradius/var" main: logdir = "/opt/freeradius/var/log/radius" main: libdir = "/opt/freeradius/lib" main: radacctdir = "/opt/freeradius/var/log/radius/radacct" main: hostname_lookups = no main: max_request_time = 30 main: cleanup_delay = 5 main: max_requests = 1024 main: delete_blocked_requests = 0 main: port = 1645 main: allow_core_dumps = no main: log_stripped_names = yes main: log_file = "/opt/freeradius/var/log/radius/radius.log" main: log_auth = yes main: log_auth_badpass = yes main: log_auth_goodpass = yes main: pidfile = "/opt/freeradius/var/run/radiusd/radiusd.pid" main: user = "(null)" main: group = "(null)" main: usercollide = no main: lower_user = "no" main: lower_pass = "no" main: nospace_user = "no" main: nospace_pass = "no" main: checkrad = "/opt/freeradius/sbin/checkrad" main: proxy_requests = yes proxy: retry_delay = 5 proxy: retry_count = 3 proxy: synchronous = no proxy: default_fallback = yes proxy: dead_time = 120 proxy: post_proxy_authorize = no proxy: wake_all_if_all_dead = no security: max_attributes = 200 security: reject_delay = 1 security: status_server = no main: debug_level = 0 read_config_files: reading dictionary read_config_files: reading naslist Using deprecated naslist file.
