Hey all,

I am having trouble getting radius to work correctly on my Freebsd
machine.  Here is the breakdone:

Logfile excerpts:

Tue Dec  3 10:12:24 1996: user_find: Parse error for user dave in
/usr/local/lib
/radius/raddb/users (DBM reply)


Tue Dec  3 10:12:24 1996: rad_authenticate: from monster.lazerlink.com -
Problem
 in user_find


Tue Dec  3 10:12:24 1996: Authentication: 177/6 'dave' via
monster.lazerlink.com
 from monster.lazerlink.com port 1 auth - FAILED Authentication
failure^M^J

These were all in a row.

Now this is telling me that my users file is unable to be parsed and that
dbm had the problem.

here is a sample of my users file:

dave	Password="test"
	User-Service = PPP,
	Framed-Protocol = PPP



eof


Radius fails to load the users into memory but has no trouble loading the
authfile or the clients file.

I am using the freebsd port of merit radis version 2.4.33 something.  The
latest one I guess.  The freebsd port package went and got it by itself.

Thanks for any help you can give.
