newbie question basic passwd authentication

[Ramses van Pinxteren]

Hi,

I am a complete newbie with radius. I need to configure this for use 
with a PPTP VPN. The end goal will be that radius is running on a 
fedora box, and authenticates against a SMBPASSWD file. PPTPd needs 
chap.

but I am getting ahead of myself, irst I need to get a basic system 
working. I installed the freeradius rpm, and tried to configure some 
things:

file clients.conf:
client 127.0.0.1 {
	secret = testing123
	shortname = localhost
	nastype = other
}
client 192.168.1.0/24 {
	secret = testing123
	shortname = localnet
}

File naslist:
localhost	local	other

File users:
nothing changed, all seemed oke to me.

file radius.conf:
cutted away some text
unix {
	cache = no
	cache_reload = 600
	passwd = /etc/passwd
	shadow = /etc/shadow
	group = /etc/group
}

When I now start the daemon as root:
# radiusd -sfxxyz -l stdout.


When I tried to test it from the console again:
radtest ramses "OfCourseThisShouldBeSomethingLessObvious" localhost 1 
testing123
I see this at my console:

rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1:32769, id=122, length=58
         User-Name = "ramses"
         User-Password = "OfCourseThisShouldBeSomethingLessObvious"
         NAS-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255
         NAS-Port = 1

Ofcourse I tripple checked the typed in password, and I could find 
nothing wrong with that one.

Now I think all I can do is shoult: HELPPPPPPP adoes anyone have any ideas?

kind regards,

Ramses
