I was trying to upgrade from version 1.1.0 to 1.1.3 but when starting FreeRadius I received the following error: "Error: /usr/local/etc/raddb/users[216]: Parse error (check) for entry DEFAULT: Unknown value SQL for attribute Auth-Type"
That's because the SQL module doesn't do authentication.
I use FR with MySQL and the ./raddb/users file contains the default attributes. E.g. DEFAULT Simultaneous-Use := 1, Auth-Type := sql
Why are you forcing Auth-Type to SQL?
Idle-Timeout = 3600, Acct-Interim-Interval = 180
This worked fine until FR 1.1.1 and stopped working with 1.1.2.
No, it did NOT work in 1.1.1. It was IGNORED in 1.1.1, due to a bug in the server.
Yes, that is what I thought. I changed my users file to: DEFAULT Simultaneous-Use := 1 Idle-Timeout = 3600, Acct-Interim-Interval = 180 and things are working fine.
In a posting from Oct 2001 I saw the following:
If you want to do SQL authentication, you should use 'Auth-Type := SQL' in the 'users' file.
If that was a post from me, it's a typo. It's wrong.

What I found in the 'ancient' times: http://lists.freeradius.org/mailman/htdig/freeradius-users/2001-October/0025 18.html My initial reason for the upgrade from 1.1.0 was a problem with my backup RADIUS server. The idle RADIUS daemon simply died for unknown reasons. It looked to me that RADIUS did a reload of the configuration files and got killed. This happend in in normal and debug mode. With 1.1.3 I did not yet experience that problem. Thanks for your response Alan! Gunther
