  I'm not sure what is unclear about that.  You need a server
certificate, as documented in many of the EAP howto's.  You need at
least one user, with a "known good" password.

  Simply saying "Auth-Type := Accept" will not work.  Ever.

  As in a user with a password...

  Yes, you're wrong.  PEAP *does* use TLS.  The comments in the
"eap.conf" file make this clear.

  The server comes with documentation that describes what to do, and
how to configure it.  Read "eap.conf", it points you to web pages that
desribe describe in *detail* what to do.

  My previous message explained that this won't work, and why.  Yet
you're not only trying it again, you're posting essentially the same
debug log as last time.  I don't see why.

  Now, you can keep trying what you're doing, which is obviously not
working.  Or, you can read the documentation that comes with the
server, and the web pages it points to.

  I'm sorry if this sounds abrupt, but I've put a lot of work into
making the server easy to use, into documenting exactly what to do,
and in answering questions on this list.  You're still arguing with me
over my answers, rather than following my directions.
