Hi all I want to inform the community about a mistake I run into and wish that nobody run into this after me. It's my style to copy an original file to a backup version before modifying it. Therefore I copied the ${confdir}/modules/mschap to ${confdir}/modules/mschap.ori and edited the ${confdir}/modules/mschap. Watching radiusd -xX I saw that my modifications to mschap did not work. It took me hours to figure out the following: All files (matching the regex /[a-zA-Z0-9_.]+/) in directory ${confdir}/modules are loaded into radiusd at startup time. ${confdir}/mschap.ori is loaded previous to ${confdir}/modules/mschap [I don't know why] and gives the old settings to the radiusd. After renaming ${confdir}/mschap.ori to ${confdir}/mschap-ori everything worked well. Because the minus sign don't match /[a-zA-Z0-9_.]+/ My warning: Beware of having private files in ${confdir}/modules. -- To the developers: I propose to name the module files with static suffix (like .mod or .rlm) and load only files with this suffix via $INCLUDE ${confdir}/modules/*.mod.
