I'm referencing the Mac-Auth wiki page at: http://wiki.freeradius.org/Mac-Auth

I'm running FreeRADIUS 2.1.7 on CentOS 5, and trying to configure MAC
Auth Bypass. I got everything functioning correctly using the Mac-Auth
Wiki page as a guide, including placement of the actual CSID
authentication code in the post-auth section. However, I just enabled
SQL in the post-auth section, and everything is getting logged to SQL
with reply Access-Accept, even if it matched the "reject" statement.
    

  I don't see how that is possible.  Are you sure you know what it's
doing?  Have you run the server in debugging mode?
Yes, I have, and am.

As per the wiki page... I have in authenticate {}:
### snip ###
Auth-Type CSID {
    if(Chap-Password){
        update control {
            Cleartext-Password := "%{User-Name}"
        }
        chap
    }
    else{
        ok 
    } 
}
### end snip###

which ALWAYS returns OK. Period.

And in post-auth{}:
### snip ###
if(control:Auth-Type == 'CSID'){
    # Authorization happens here
    authorized_macs.authorize
    if(!ok){
        reject
    }
}
### end snip ###
If I put a "sql" line before this, it always logs with Access-Accept, since that's what authenticate{} ALWAYS returns, and the sql module is being called before . If I put a "sql" line after this, it never gets executed for "reject" statements...
  
It seems to me that it's pretty logical that post-auth would be entered
with Auth-Type == Access-Accept, the SQL log would happen, and *then*
the "reject" statement would get executed
    

  That makes no sense.  "If it's accept, it runs reject" ?
See above.
  
. What I don't understand is
why I shouldn't move the actual authentication
(authorized_macs.authorize) to the auth { } section, or else how I go
about logging rejected requests.
    

  I have no idea what that means.
Why is the authorize statement in the post-auth { } section? That seems to be the cause of these problems...
