That says use FreeRADIUS version 2. Use version 3 instead, v2 is
EOL.

Noting that's PEAP, not TTLS.

Well yes, Auth-Type in the outer isn't Kerberos, it's EAP.

Documentation everywhere says don't touch Auth-Type yourself. It
says that for a reason.

Because you set Auth-Type to Kerberos.

Don't touch Auth-Type. FreeRADIUS can generally figure it out on
its own.

And if you're then still stuck, post a full debug output from
'radiusd -X' to the list.

eapol_test from the wpasupplicant project is your friend here for
testing EAP-TTLS/PAP.
