Beginner Question: "Hotspot Login Failed"

[Alan Buxey]

Hi,

> In my testing lab (yes, I'm new to FreeRadius), usernames entered (e.g. with attribute User-Password in sql radcheck table) via my NAS (dd-wrt with Chillispot) refuse to authenticate (error below), whereas attribute=Auth-Type (what DaloRadius calls a "PIN") works fine. I'm using the packaged MySQL (5.0.51a-24+lenny3) with FreeRadius (2.0.4+dfsg-6)and freeradius-dialupadmin (2.0.4+dfsg-6) on Debian Lenny, along with Daloradius 0.9-8 for GUI frontend.

corrupted password - incorrect RADIUS secret is most likely culprit.

also, out of your whole list, only this one is 'correct' syntax
