thank you for the quick response. the reason i created the admin account was for use during ldap outages and you are correct that this account does not exist in ldap. what would be a better way to go about accomplishing this. i want the admin account to be only available during times when the ldap module returns 'fail'?

I have setup a freeradius server version 2.1.7 using ldap for authentication. What i'm having trouble understanding is that in my users file i have a local user called admin. The default user account (for ldap) is listed before the admin account in the users file. since i have not configured Fall-Through i would expect the admin account to not be accessible if ldap query fails, but it is accessible. is my assumption wrong?
No. But if the DEFAULT doesn't match, it will try the "admin" entry.
Again... run it in debugging mode to see what's happening. In this case, you *will* see that (a) the request isn't coming from that huntgroup, or (b), the user isn't in that LDAP group.
