rlm_chap(5) FreeRADIUS Module rlm_chap(5)NAME
rlm_chap - FreeRADIUS Module
DESCRIPTION
The rlm_chap module provides CHAP functionality.
This module validates a user with CHAP authentication. If called in Authorize, it will look for CHAP-Password attribute in the Acess-
Request and adds an Auth-Type attribute set to CHAP if the Config-Items list unless Auth-Type has already set.
CHAP authentication requires access to the clear-text password for the user. Standard Unix system authentication or passwords encrypted
via crypt() are not compatible with CHAP.

rlm_unix(5) FreeRADIUS Module rlm_unix(5)NAME
rlm_unix - FreeRADIUS Module
DESCRIPTION
The rlm_unix module reads crypt(3) passwords from the system password file, and allows the server to use them for authentication. The mod-
ule also provides FreeRADIUS an interface into a radwtmp file (used by "radlast") when added to the accounting section.
The rlm_unix module does provides the functionality for "Auth-Type = System". The module should be listed in the "authenticate" section.
Please see the default radiusd.conf shipped with the server for an example of the correct usage of this module.
As of FreeRADIUS 1.1.0, the module no longer reads, or caches /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, or /etc/group. If you wish to cache those files,
see rlm_passwd. Most, if not all, configurations should not need those files to be cached.
The main configuration items to be aware of are:
radwtmp
The path to the system wtmp file to be used for keeping the database of online users as read by the 'radlast' program.
