I'm having problems getting RADIUS NT to authenticate through the NT user
database. Maybe you can tell me where I am making what must be an obvious
mistake.

I am curently running the current version on an NT backup domain controller,
using a Livingston Portmaster 3. When I enter the username and password in
the users file, then logging on works, but using DEFAULT and "WINNT", i get
the following debug output;

C:\radius>radius -x15

The following are my config files

users

DEFAULT Password = "WINNT"
User-Service = Framed-User,
Framed-Protocol = PPP,

Also, should the dictionary file be changed to the Livingston dictionary?

I'd sincerely appreciate any help you might have to offer. Thanks.
