Re: Strange problem regarding PPTP and FreeRADIUS
Edvin, Hi Thanks for your response. FreeRADIUS is running on Debian Lenny and PopTop Server is running on a RedHat-based distribution. By the way, in pptpd's logs, I mentioned the following: /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf: line 16: unrecognized keyword: radius_deadtime I know that pppd uses radius.so plugin to perform PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAPv2 authentication against a RADIUS server. Might this be the issue? Warm Regards Ali Majdzadeh Kohbanani 2010/9/12 Edvin Seferovic | Kolpinghaus St.Pölten <edvin.seferovic@kolp.at>
Might this be a PopTop issue? What platform are you using?
Please note those two highlighted lines, the User-Name is "\000ila" while what I have used as the username is "ali". Also, NAS-IP-Address is somehow encrypted. I searched a lot, but I could not find any similar problem. Any ideas?
Regards, E.S.

That might be it. It looks like you might have mangled the configs in /etc/radiusclient. This isn't a FreeRadius problem. We use poptop/pppd/radius.so on RHEL4 x86 and RHEL5 x86_64, and the combination works reliably for us. Where did you get your /etc/radiusclient configs from? Is the pppd package the standard one which comes with your RHEL distro - which pppd rpm version? Which version and CPU architecture are you running RHEL on? I suggest you go back to the original versions of /etc/radiusclient configs and make small changes one-by-one until it either works or breaks.
Phil, Hi Yes, you are right. radius.so breaks when I insert radius_deadtime option in radiusclient.conf, it seems that what I have used to configure the previous radiusclient is not compatible with this new version. By the way, I use pppd-2.4.5. Thanks a lot. Warm Regards Ali Majdzadeh Kohbanani 2010/9/12 Phil Mayers <p.mayers@imperial.ac.uk>
