CHAP Problems

[Mitchell, Michael J]

There used to be a DEFAULT stanza in the "users" configuration file that
set Auth-Type := System which tells the RADIUS server to use /etc/passwd
for authentication. This has caused a few issues like this in the past,
though I thought it had been resolved for 1.0.5.

If is still exists you may have more success if you comment that out.

Hope that helps,
Mike
