Well, that's what I thought, but I can't seem to get it working.  And
all I'm doing now is testing the setup on the FreeRADIUS server, which
is also the NIS server.  It may be that I have the correct pieces, but
not in the correct places.  I'm still working out the configuration
files and such.

In the users file I've setup DEFAULT Auth-Type = System.  According to
what little documentation I can find, this /should/ 'just work' with
NIS.

I've left the clients.conf file as is for testing. I know I can setup
a user in the users file with something like this:

testing Cleartext-Password := "password"

And that works just fine.  Maybe I'm just not quite clear enough on
the bits and pieces to work out the problem.  I will be glad to post
the debug output if needed, but it seems like it should be nothing
more complicated that  what I've got.  I've not even come close to
testing other devices authenticating yet, just trying it directly on
localhost.

Does that make sense?
