but I know 100% that the password is correct. What appears to be happening (determined from hours of frustrating testing) is Freeradius (rlm_unix) is looking for the users passwords in the /etc/passwd file but my /etc/passwd file doesn't contain any passwords: test:*:1003:1003:Test User:/home/test:/bin/sh

my /etc/master.passwd file does: test:$1$RlHYm4Ca$QhlYcYV7BqIjTF.UQ4pTX/:1003:1003::0:0:Test User:/home/test:/bin/sh

Read radiusd.conf, and look for "/etc/passwd". Odds are that you enabled caching of /etc/passw. There's a reason it's not enabled by default, it doesn't work on FreeBSD. Which is explicitly documented. Alan DeKok.
