rlm_passwd help

[David Brodrick]

Hi,
I got there. I added authtype = PAP to the passwd module configuration 
and then DEFAULT Auth-Type = PAP to users.

I had tried this earlier but there was a trailing delimiter in the local 
password file which wasn't in the format and this seems to have caused 
the password verification to fail which threw me off.
Regards,
  Dave
