Simple flat file passwords?
I am trying to use the passwd module to configure a simple flat file with two fields, a user name and a password. I believe I have the module configured right: passwd text_file { filename = /var/text_file format = "*User-Name:*User-Password" authtype = PAP } The contents of this file are: mward:feeble However I can't figure out which authtype to use. If I use PAP (above) I get the following errors: rlm_pap: login attempt by "mward" with password feeble rlm_pap: No password (or empty password) to check against for for user mward If I use CHAP or MSCHAP I get errors like: rlm_chap: Attribute "CHAP-Password" is required for authentication. Cannot use "User-Password". and if I change the format=line to suit, my passwd module fails with: modcall[authorize]: module "text_file" returns notfound for request 0 Can anyone point out the undoubtedly siple thing I am missing?

I am trying to use the passwd module to configure a simple flat file with two fields, a user name and a password. I believe I have the module configured right:
passwd text_file { filename = /var/text_file format = "*User-Name:*User-Password"
From the "man" page for rlm_passwd: The key field is signified by being preceded with a '*' character, which indicates that the field has only one key, like the /etc/passwd file.
However I can't figure out which authtype to use. If I use PAP (above) I get the following errors:
rlm_pap: login attempt by "mward" with password feeble rlm_pap: No password (or empty password) to check against for for user mward
Because you configured rlm_passwd wrong. And don't set the "auth_type" in rlm_passwd. I think I'm going to remove that option from the CVS head. It's just too confusing. Alan DeKok.
Stunning! Thanks Alan, that was all it took. I didn't even realise there WAS a man page for the rlm_ modules. I'll go read some now. |\/|artin -- Senior Network Administrator, NEC (Europe) Ltd.
