Andrew, copy the "users.example" file to "users" (like you did before)
Then use that from now on, but don't use the commandline-based EDIT to edit
the file. So long as you copy the file (as mentioned a minute ago), using
Windows NT Notepad will work fine. One key thing is, there must be an
EMPTY line at the end of this file at all times, so be sure to hit ENTER
after the last line of actual text, and make sure there's nothing following
it. Also, be sure to use TAB instead of spaces where they belong. I think
there's a basic example of the format in one of the text files that comes
with RadiusNT.

Make sure that you stop RadiusNT and restart it whenever you make changes
to the users file.
