If you wanted to do mac authentication, is there a way to add a range of mac addresses to the users list. eg:

#Normal mac username:

002710de63a4 Cleartext-Password := "002710de63a4" e806882925ce Cleartext-Password := "e806882925ce"

#Range of mac addresses:

94ebcd****** Cleartext-Password := "94ebcd******"

DEFAULT User-Password =~ '^94ebcd[0-9a-f]{6}$', Auth-Type := Accept Arran Cudbard-Bell <a.cudbardb@freeradius.org> FreeRADIUS Development Team

If you're using PAP (which I guess is most likely if it's MAC auth), you should be able to do something like DEFAULT User-Name =~ "^94ebcd", User-Password =~ "^94ebcd", Auth-Type := Accept Or, depending on the number of prefixes, forget the users file and just write it in unlang; maybe something like. if ( User-Name =~ /^94ebcd......$/ ) { update control { Cleartext-Password := "%{User-Name}" } } Be very careful with that one for obvious reasons... If you're doing CHAP (or something that needs the full cleartext password) then you're probably limited anyway, as the only way you're going to get the right cleartext password from a username in a range when you don't list them all is to refer to said username.
