  This list is not the place to discuss PAM configuration, or PAM debugging.

  Which has nothing to do with RADIUS or FreeRADIUS.

  Exactly. What DOES help is telling you to ask the PAM people how to fix their software.

  What DOES help is me telling you that you needed to configure NSS.  Which is what I did.

  This isn't a complicated concept.  You were having problems with PAM.  You were told to go ask the PAM people.  Instead of doing that, you asked the same questions here over and over and over and over again.

  What REALLY doesn't help is snarky comments about how to better help people.  The only thing preventing you from solving the problem earlier was your refusal to follow instructions.

  Now stop posting about PAM issues.  Or else.
