There are actually two errors here: a syntax and a semantic one:
 1. The entry is missing RHS (aka reply-pairs).
 2. Fall-Through can reasonably be used only in RHS.

Therefore, the correct entry would be

denis Crypt-Password = "<password-value>"
      Fall-Through = Yes

> DEFAULT Service-Type = Authenticate-Only,
>         Simultaneous-Use = 1

Likewise. The correct entry will read

DEFAULT NULL
        Service-Type = Authenticate-Only,
        Simultaneous-Use = 1

(NULL stands for an empty pairlist).

Actually, in your case this one entry would do the job:

denis Auth-Type = Crypt-Local,
                Password = "<password-value>"
      Service-Type = Authenticate-Only,
                Simultaneous-Use = 1

This won't work. md5sum generates MD5 hashes. A hashed password, on
the other hand, contains both the hash and the seed used to generate
it.

By the way, you might wish to take a look at the documentation. It
is available at http://www.gnu.org/software/radius/manual.
