Argh. So I decided to try and wipe the thing, then do a clean install and just add in the correct values for sql.conf and the required tweaks to radiusd.conf, but I seem to have made the problem worse because now it claims it can't even find the user. Log output, intersparsed with the mysql results from each query, attached below. It seems to be complaining about the lack of Auth-Type attribute, but as you can see it's right there... At least so I think. What am I missing?
