Re: SSH authendication with radius server fails if the user does not exist in radius client

So it looks like the radius client is not sending the password to radius server if the user does not exist in local machine.

Yes, that's how PAM works. It can't authenticate users that don't exist locally (think about it - if user/group is not defined locally what will user be able to access on the machine). Nothing to do with radius. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP
