I was trying to upgrade from version 1.1.0 to 1.1.3 but when starting FreeRadius I received the following error: "Error: /usr/local/etc/raddb/users[216]: Parse error (check) for entry DEFAULT: Unknown value SQL for attribute Auth-Type" I use FR with MySQL and the ./raddb/users file contains the default attributes. E.g. DEFAULT Simultaneous-Use := 1, Auth-Type := sql Idle-Timeout = 3600, Acct-Interim-Interval = 180 This worked fine until FR 1.1.1 and stopped working with 1.1.2. I found that one change in the ./src/lib/valuepair.c file caused this problem: At the end of the pairread function: (1265-1271) /* * If we didn't make a pair, return an error. */ if (!vp) { *eol = T_INVALID; return NULL; } It seems that the pairmake function does not return a valid pair when the pair is 'Auth-Type := SQL'. I am not sure if I use the users file in connection with my MySQL setup correctly, or if my users file entry is simply not correct? Is 'Auth-Type := SQL' in the users file still allowed? It doesn't work anymore since 1.1.2. In a posting from Oct 2001 I saw the following:
If you want to do SQL authentication, you should use 'Auth-Type := SQL' in the 'users' file.
If you want to authenticate agains /etc/passwd, THEN you use 'Auth-Type := System'.
