Question about authentication

[John Baldwin]

Hello all

I'm trying to configure freeradius on a Centos server to authenticate my logins on Cisco devices.  I can see in the log file that my request is hitting the server.  I'm advised to just add a username and password in the users file so I've done that, I've used the steve login and password of testing as used as an example in the file and as follows

steve  Cleartext-Password := "testing"

All following lines are still commented out.

I'm running radiusd -x.  The following is the contents of the log file.

Waking up in 0.9 seconds.
rlm_pap: login attempt with password "Cí?-Ã+Cý?AÃ
                                                   ?ü?RE"
rlm_pap: Using clear text password "testing"
rlm_pap: Passwords don't match
Waking up in 3.9 seconds.

Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
