I have try to configure freeradius on fedora core 3 to authenticates against unix password /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, but seem to be fail until now.. can any want pls guide me though this.. Besides, pls advice me if i doing anything wrong. My installation step:- 1) install freeradius using apt-get command:- ===================================================================== [root@cerebro ~]# apt-get install freeradius ===================================================================== 2) As i go though the doc, the default seem to be ok.., so i just start the services:- ===================================================================== [root@cerebro ~]# /etc/init.d/radiusd start Starting RADIUS server: [ OK ] [root@cerebro ~]# ===================================================================== 3) add a dummy user and assigh a password to user dummy:- ===================================================================== [root@cerebro ~]# adduser dummy [root@cerebro ~]# passwd dummy Changing password for user dummy. New UNIX password: testing BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word Retype new UNIX password: testing passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. [root@cerebro ~]# ===================================================================== 4) testing to autheticate the user dummy:- ===================================================================== [root@cerebro ~]# radtest dummy testing localhost:1812 1 testing123 Sending Access-Request of id 251 to 127.0.0.1:1812 User-Name = "dummy" User-Password = "testing" NAS-IP-Address = cerebro.osedge.com NAS-Port = 1 Re-sending Access-Request of id 251 to 127.0.0.1:1812 User-Name = "dummy" User-Password = "\271g\343\034{~\235\364M\344ID%\345\021j" NAS-IP-Address = cerebro.osedge.com NAS-Port = 1 rad_recv: Access-Reject packet from host 127.0.0.1:1812, id=251, length=20 [root@cerebro ~]# ===================================================================== The output of /var/log/radius/radius.log ===================================================================== [root@cerebro radius]# tail -f /var/log/radius/radius.log Thu Jul 28 03:54:16 2005 : Info: rlm_exec: Wait=yes but no output defined.
