OK, so I changed the line in my users file to the following: bob Auth-Type := Accept, Cleartext-Password := "hello" And it now works, but I don't think this is the right thing to do. Besides, it was supposed to 'just work'. /Russ Russell D. Mitchell wrote:

I've installed freeradius-server-2.0.2 onto a Fedora Core-5 machine, and tried to perform the first step as described in: http://deployingradius.com/documents/configuration/pap.html. Both radiusd and radtest were executed with root priviledges. The only change to config files was to add 'bob Cleartext-Password := "hello"' to /etc/raddb/users, to the top of the file.

As you can see at the end of the radiusd output, the failure appears to be due to:

auth: No authenticate method (Auth-Type) configuration found for the request: Rejecting the user auth: Failed to validate the user.

But, I thought this was supposed to 'just work'. Here's the output from 'radtest bob hello localhost 0 testing123'

And here's the output from 'radisud -X':
