Hi Phil,

That could be the problem.

I am using LDAP to get user information. getent passwd works okay everytime.... I have system to use LDAP for accounting. Do I have to set it up in FreeRadius as well? Or shall I do either or?

I don't understand any of that, I'm afraid. The log you posted shows pam_radius failing because getservbyname() failed. getservbyname() uses NSS. Fix NSS to be reliable and this error will go away. This is not a RADIUS problem. You should just remove "ldap" from "services" in /etc/nsswitch.conf - it's pointless and unhelpful. But it's not a RADIUS problem, and thus OT for this list.
