>Description:

The pam_radius module's man page purports to be able to support a "template user", i.e. when a user not listed in the local
system attempts to authenticate when pam_radius is in effect, instead, the login credentials for "template_user" will be
presented.

FreeBSD seems to authorize against radius correctly when a local user exists, but when a non-local user tries to authenticate,
the request is NOT EVEN FORWARDED to the radius server.  Auth simply fails.

>How-To-Repeat:

/etc/radius.conf: 

auth    65.125.237.37   testing123
acct    65.125.237.37   testing123

/etc/pam.conf:

sshd    auth    sufficient      pam_skey.so
sshd    auth    sufficient      pam_opie.so                     no_fake_prompts
#sshd   auth    requisite       pam_opieaccess.so
#sshd   auth    sufficient      pam_kerberosIV.so               try_first_pass
#sshd   auth    sufficient      pam_krb5.so                     try_first_pass
sshd    auth    sufficient      pam_radius.so                   try_first_pass template_user=danm
sshd    auth    required        pam_unix.so                     try_first_pass
sshd    account sufficient      pam_radius.so                   try_first_pass template_user=danm
sshd    account required        pam_unix.so
sshd    password required       pam_permit.so
sshd    session required        pam_permit.so

try to log in as a user who is present on the radius server but not present on the local system.

>Fix:

None known.
