Hi,
I have an entry in the hints file, that when I uncomment, the authentication fails. And I can't figure out why.
When/where during the process does the hints file come into play? Im watching everything under debug mode, and I can't figure it out....
Thank you!

You have to match on it in the users file. Create your huntgroup in the huntgroups file as shown in the examples, although you can match on any attribute you like not just prefix and suffix. For example I create huntgroups and use NAS-IP-Address frequently. In your users file just match on the huntgroup-name. Here's my setup with data modified for security purposes...
### huntgroup file ### huntgroup1 NAS-IP-Address == 192.168.0.1 huntgroup1 NAS-IP-Address == 192.168.0.2 huntgroup1 NAS-IP-Address == 192.168.0.3
### users file ### DEFAULT Huntgroup-Name == huntgroup1 Idle-Timeout = 900, Framed-Protocol = PPP, Service-Type = Framed-User, Fall-Through = no
The question was not about "huntgroups", but "hints". hints is used during preprocess and is a packet mangler: it's the only place where you can modify and add all the request items at will. It's mostly often just used to add request items based on the prefix or suffix of the User-Name attribute for historic reasons, but it's much more powerful than just that. The only packets ignored by hints are those without a User-Name attribute (Acct-Start and -Stop mostly), this limitation is for historic reasons. If it works if you don't touch the file, and it doesn't when you do, the solution is simple: don't touch it.
