Alan,
I attached an edited  dictionary.mrv by mistake. I attached our original one for you here.
My apologies.
Phil

Alan,
Your points are well taken. Thank you.
We commented out using including our dictionary.mrv file (attached) in dictionary and references to our attributes in the users file and now Radius authentication succeeds.

Here is an entry in the users file that used our attributes successfully in freeradius 2.1.1

###################################
# MRV Vender Specific Testing
###################################
zeusCleartext-Password := "dog"
Service-Type == NAS-Prompt-User,
Idle-Timeout == 60,
MRV-Login-Mode == "cli",
MRV-Security-Level == "outlet shell",
MRV-Command-Logging == "syslog",
MRV-Audit-Logging == "syslog",
MRV-User-Prompt == "zeus",
MRV-Menu-Name == "/config/M_demo_menu",
MRV-Web-Menu-Name == "/config/M_demo_menu",
MRV-Port-Access-List == "2 4",
MRV-Remote-Access-List == "telnet",
MRV-Outlet-Access-List == "3:1 4:1",
MRV-Outlet-Group-Access-List == "2"

If you can point me in the right direction with regards to what I need to change to use our dictionary attributes, I would appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Phil

  I think you've broken something.

  What did you put into the dictionary file?

  What are those attributes?  They are NOT standard RADIUS attributes.  There is no User-Name in the packet, which is typically required.  There is no User-Password in the packet, which is also typically required.

> (0) WARNING: Unprintable characters in the password.  Double-check the shared secret on the server and the NAS!

  That message is printed ONLY if there's a User-Password in the attribute.

  So.. .you've done something, and broken the server.  The short answer is "don't do that".

  Go back to the default configuration.  i.e. back out ALL of your local changes.  Check that you can get users authenticated, by adding a Cleartext-Password for that user.  Check that it works with radtest.  Then, make another change.

  You've fallen into the trap of "make 100 changes, and then something doesn't work".  You'll never get it debugged doing that.

  Make ONE change.  Test it.  Make ANOTHER change.  Test it.  This is all documented in "man radiusd".

  And post your dictionary here.  Odds are it poaches on the standard space, and breaks all of RADIUS.
