Simple flat file passwords?

[Martin.Ward at uk.neceur.com]

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.

  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.

  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.
