$INCLUDE ignored by freeradius

Hello all, It seems that the $INCLUDE <filename> command is ignored by freeradius during authentication. I have three groups of users in three different files and those three files are added to the main users file in raddb directory using $INCLUDE users.group1 $INCLUDE users.group2 $INCLUDE users.group3 but for some reason during authentication freeradius just looks up the main users file and ignores the $INCLUDE command which results in REJECT being sent. I think that i simply missed a configuration step as this setup was working before i did the upgade to the MASTER version from git. Thanks in advance Kris http://www.livelinx.tv/ NEW!
