Re: [Help-gnu-radius] Radius Not responding

[Bob Robichaud]

Our users file is very large and came from old old radius running MERIT
radius

This is what the users file looks like

joe   Authentication-Type="Unix-PW"
  Framed-Protocol = PPP,
  Framed-IP-Address = 255.255.255.254,
  Framed-IP-Netmask = 255.255.255.0,
  Framed-Routing =Broadcast-Listen,
  Framed-MTU = 1500,
  Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobson-TCP-IP

I had to add an Attribute to dictionary hoping it would work

Authentication-Type      1027      integer -[L--R-R]
VALUE Authentication-Type      Unix-PW       1

I could try using Auth-Type and System in my users file but for some reason
I thought Authentication-Type was needed for Shiva Lan Rover.
