hello,
I use FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.3, and I try a basic configuration from my
HP procurve2650 to do Mac-based radius auth.
for this I've setup a simple users file

005004B7252E    Auth-Type := Local, Cleartext-Password := "005004B7252E"
    

  Delete the "Auth-Type := Local".  It doesn't do anything useful.
  

First ,it isn't clear to me wether to user Cleartext-Password or
User-Password and == ou := , and "" or no "" around the password ...!? ,
anyway, with Cleartext-Password it works fine with radtest at least
    

  The example in the FAQ and in the "users" file do NOT have Auth-Type.
They DO use Cleartext-Password, and they DO use ":=".

  All of the third-party web sites, FAQs, etc. are 2-3 years out of
date, and are wrong.
  

[chap] login attempt by "005004B7252E" with CHAP password
[chap] Cleartext-Password is required for authentication
    

  That says it doesn't have the Cleartext-Password.

...
  

[files] users: Matched entry DEFAULT at line 172
    

  So... what's at line 172?  Where is the "users" file entry you added?
  

  The FAQ says to add it at the TOP of the "users" file.  That works
best for testing.
