Failed to authenticate the user

[Julson, Jim]

I'm going to suggest a couple things.  Take this as you will. 

1.  I'm not sure if it's a language barrier or not, but it really sounds as though you don't have a lot of experience with Linux in general, so, since you asked me for a step-by-step how-to document for Ubuntu, and all I had at the time was one for CentOS 6.2, I would suggest since you aren't very far in, that you simply rebuild and install CentOS 6.2 and follow my document to the LETTER.

2.  Read the document line by line and do not skip any steps.  Ensure that everything works as the document says it should before proceeding to the next step.  

Building/Rebuilding servers is a good way to develop the fundamental concepts of administration if you are starting at ground zero.  Troubleshooting a non-working installation of freeradius usually isn't this difficult, and it sounds like you've quite possibly made a large number of changes.  

If rebuilding isn't an option.....

I've now seen 3 responses to you all stating the same thing "The Debug output shows that FreeRADIUS CANT FIND THE USER P1Z1X2C7S9Y9B0O8["   You have yet to respond to that.  

So, is that a local user?  Is it an LDAP user?  What is it and where is it in your config?  

Everyone here at the list is very kind in offering their FREE support, but if you don't pay attention and respond to what they are asking, you won't ever get anywhere.   If you don't understand what it is they are asking you to do, then you need to use things like Google as a tool to help you research and learn.   I think it's safe to say that probably 99.99% of everyone here Google's first, then Lists second...
