>Description:
	Use of the template user causes pam_radius to always reture 
authentication failure.  Auth has been tested using radtest and radlogin from
the same host that pam_radius is failing on.  

>How-To-Repeat:
        configure pam_radius for use with a template user then attempt to log in
as a user not on the local system, but with good radius credentials.

        You should also look at pr-66095.  It seems that pr was closed without
any fix, but it gives very good full details of the issue.  I have tested on
FreeBSD 7.x and FreeBSD 9.0 with the same results.  Not having working a working
FreeBSD radius client configuration is very painful for large sites that have
radius servers!

>Fix:

     No Idea.
