Hi again, Just back to work desk now. I created the few users in /etc/radd/users as test Cleartext-Password := "test" i think radius and pptp are talking together now, but when i connect to vpn server from windows machine it looks authentication is working - however it doesnt get connected "it says registering your comptuer on the network" and returns back. What I am missing here. radiusd -X shows : +- entering group authorize {...} ++[preprocess] returns ok ++[chap] returns noop [mschap] Found MS-CHAP attributes. Setting 'Auth-Type = mschap' ++[mschap] returns ok ++[digest] returns noop [suffix] No '@' in User-Name = "test", looking up realm NULL [suffix] No such realm "NULL" ++[suffix] returns noop [eap] No EAP-Message, not doing EAP ++[eap] returns noop [files] users: Matched entry test at line 86 ++[files] returns ok ++[expiration] returns noop ++[logintime] returns noop [pap] WARNING: Auth-Type already set.
