v2.1.6. AFAIK FR was never installed on this box - it's fairly new - so I don't think it could've been some legacy doc that didn't get overwritten when 2.1.6 was installed. -----Original Message----- From: freeradius-users-bounces+ggatten=waddell.com@lists.freeradius.org [mailto:freeradius-users-bounces+ggatten=waddell.com@lists.freeradius.or g] On Behalf Of Alan Buxey Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 1:33 PM To: FreeRadius users mailing list Subject: Re: Sanity check, example in users man page Hi,
From users man page:
EXAMPLES bob User-Password == "hello"
Requests containing the User-Name attribute, with value "bob", will be authenticated using the password "bob". There are no reply items, so the reply will be empty.
Surely this is incorrect - right? Should this not read: "... will be authenticated using the password "hello".
Assuming I'm correct, this is my excuse for taking so long to grasp some of the concepts of FR, unlang, etc. I think there are several doc errors / typos that are confusing me....
what version are you actually looking at? your example predates 2.x of the code....and only 2.x of the code has unlang etc. the current doc (man 5 users) states bob Cleartext-Password := "hello" Requests containing the User-Name attribute, with value "bob", will be authenticated using the "known good" password "hello". There are no reply items, so the reply will be empty. but yes - the text you have is wrong..... it is, indeed password "hello" - its fairly obvious. from the text i'd say you've got a document that came with version 1.0.2 of the code? alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
