How difficult can it be to follow clearly written instructions?
As I said before, the only example of using a huntgroup I can see in the users file does not list a password attribute at all. so assuming that I should set the attribute to either CHAP-Password =="password" or Cleartext-Password == "password" I tried both and of course neither works.
No. It doesn't. Why? Let's have a look at the password entry from users file: Cleartext-Password := "testing" Can you see *any* difference between that and what you were using? Fix it and it will work.
testuser Huntgroup-Name =="testgroup", CHAP-Password == "password" yields the same error as having used Cleartext-Password, User-Password or no password at all.
"like no password at all" - exactly. Your password entry is wrong. Use entries that documentation suggests. Stop hanging hopelessly to the way "it used to be" - I think that you have established by now that the "old way" doesn't work. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP
