It is a PPC module. However, since I was having problems with it I decided to install the PAM module for my x86 workstation (from the Ubuntu Hardy repository). I'm getting the same results. The client/server talk to each other but the password doesn't seem to be decrypted when the auth request gets to the server.
Then the shared secret is wrong. The debug log shows this. Go fix the shared secret.
I've also double checked how I was building the PPC PAM module. I'm using the provided makefile and setting up the compiler and linker to use the proper ppc build tools. Any ideas of where I could be going wrong when compiling it?
Endian issues. It's buried in the source...
By the way, this is the entry in the top of my "users" file on my RADIUS server: testing Cleartext-Password := password
Is the "Cleartext-Password" option okay with for authenticating PAM clients?
Yes. The RADIUS server looks at the contents of the packet, *not* the source code of the client. Alan DeKok.
