Here is an example of a user who is turned off. This shows the invalid shell where it pulls out part of the passwd entry of another user. Note the username in this is all the same user.

We've been running Freeradius for a long time without any issues. We typically turn a customer off by changing the password in the passwd file. We use the passwd file for authentication. The issue is intermittent the customer is DSL so they will try to log in for a couple of hours constantly before being allowed to connect.
What does that mean? You turn a customer off, and then they keep trying to log in before they are allowed to connect?
Once the connect reseting their dsl connection forces them to login again. It will fail at this point, like it's supposed to. First before I get into posting any configs or that detail, has anyone else had similar problems?
I don't think I understand the question.
Also, the logs sometimes show invalid shell with part of the passwd file. Not necessarily the actual shell portion though. It may show the home directory, or the shell, or even part of one of those such as "/bin/fal"
The logs sometimes show something about stuff...
Can you post portions of the logs? That would seem to be more useful than vague descriptions.
