The docs indicate that you have to have CHAP off for the authentication to work, but I don't believe it said that PAP must be on, although it did indicate that PAP would work. I just tried it in desperation, and it started working. There were no error messages with PAP and CHAP off and running radiusd in "-x -x" mode for max debugging. The only clue was that it kept reporting a CHAP password was being sent from the Portmaster, even though CHAP was off. I've been watching the log file all night, and I haven't seen a failed authentication yet, so I guess I'm all OK, but puzzled. Thanks for the interest.
