Having just completely purged and reinstalled freeradius, I cannot get the default configuration to work. Here is the output from a request in debug mode: rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 59114, id=221, length=59 User-Name = "testing" User-Password = "password" NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.1.1 NAS-Port = 0 # Executing section authorize from file /etc/freeradius/sites-enabled/default +- entering group authorize {...} ++[preprocess] returns ok ++[chap] returns noop ++[mschap] returns noop ++[digest] returns noop [suffix] No '@' in User-Name = "testing", looking up realm NULL [suffix] No such realm "NULL" ++[suffix] returns noop [eap] No EAP-Message, not doing EAP ++[eap] returns noop ++[files] returns noop ++[expiration] returns noop ++[logintime] returns noop [pap] WARNING!
