The file should be in the SAME directory as RadiusNT starts in,
not c:\etc. Your users file should be the EXACT same as the users
file on your UNIX box. IOW, you must have at the end the typical:
DEFAULT Password = "UNIX"
entry at the bottom so RadiusNT knows to check the passwd file in its
directory for the users.
