This is the first time I install and test Freeradius. This is the version of freeradius: -- freeradius -v freeradius: FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.10, for host i686-pc-linux-gnu, built on Feb 24 2014 at 15:16:51 Copyright (C) 1999-2010 The FreeRADIUS server project and contributors.

For more information about these matters, see the file named COPYRIGHT. This user is one of the default users, and I just uncommented that user line in /etc/freeradius/users: ******************************************************************************* # # Please read the documentation file ../doc/processing_users_file, # or 'man 5 users' (after installing the server) for more information. # # This file contains authentication security and configuration # information for each user. Accounting requests are NOT processed # through this file. Instead, see 'acct_users', in this directory. # # The first field is the user's name and can be up to # 253 characters in length. This is followed (on the same line) with # the list of authentication requirements for that user. This can # include password, comm server name, comm server port number, protocol # type (perhaps set by the "hints" file), and huntgroup name (set by # the "huntgroups" file). # # If you are not sure why a particular reply is being sent by the # server, then run the server in debugging mode (radiusd -X), and # you will see which entries in this file are matched. # # When an authentication request is received from the comm server, # these values are tested. Only the first match is used unless the # "Fall-Through" variable is set to "Yes". # # A special user named "DEFAULT" matches on all usernames. # You can have several DEFAULT entries. All entries are processed # in the order they appear in this file. The first entry that # matches the login-request will stop processing unless you use # the Fall-Through variable. # # If you use the database support to turn this file into a .db or .dbm # file, the DEFAULT entries _have_ to be at the end of this file and # you can't have multiple entries for one username. # # Indented (with the tab character) lines following the first # line indicate the configuration values to be passed back to # the comm server to allow the initiation of a user session. # This can include things like the PPP configuration values # or the host to log the user onto. # # You can include another `users' file with `$INCLUDE users.other' # # # For a list of RADIUS attributes, and links to their definitions, # see: # # http://www.freeradius.org/rfc/attributes.html # # # Deny access for a specific user. Note that this entry MUST # be before any other 'Auth-Type' attribute which results in the user # being authenticated. # # Note that there is NO 'Fall-Through' attribute, so the user will not # be given any additional resources. # #lameuser Auth-Type := Reject # Reply-Message = "Your account has been disabled." # # Deny access for a group of users. # # Note that there is NO 'Fall-Through' attribute, so the user will not # be given any additional resources. # #DEFAULT Group == "disabled", Auth-Type := Reject # Reply-Message = "Your account has been disabled." # # # This is a complete entry for "steve".

Is it possible that I've been configuring the wrong file? Any other ideas of why Freeradius keeps rejecting my request?
