Freeradius and What's Up Gold Question

[Linda Pagillo]

Thank you once again Mr.DeKok. I have already added the secret to my 
clients.conf entry. I also already checked into adding the shared secret to 
WUG and there is no way to do this, so i'm told. Is there another way around 
this problem? Perhaps i have my clients.conf entry incorrect. Here is what i 
have:

client xx.xxx.xxx.xx  {
       secret          = mysecrethere
       shortname       = shortnamehere
}

It is different for the entries i have for my NAS. Here is an example of of 
those:

client xx.xxx.xxx.xxx {
       secret          = mysecrethere
       shortname       = shortnamehere
        nastype        = nastypehere
        login          = loginhere
        password       = passwordhere
}

Am I missing something? Thanks again.
