Even If I assign values to THEattributes in hints file, some later evaluations in the default file are pretending:

"Request:THEattributes not found"

What does that mean?

How may I debug the processing of the hints file?

Debug mode is fine.

Starting "radiusd -Xx" works fine: ...

receiving the a packet, I will output ... Fri Apr 9 18:34:54 2010 : Info: +- entering group authorize {...} Fri Apr 9 18:34:54 2010 : Info: ++[preprocess] returns ok

Yes... it's not matching anything in the 'hints' file.

I remember, that it has shown something like 'matched Line 17' in the past. I'm sure, editing the correct hints file: If I do a mistake in a DEFAULT line, radiusd does not load.

What is in the packet, and what is in the 'hints' file? A comparison of the two should show why it isn't matching.

Any Idea, how to get more output, at least for the positive matches?
