  A Network Access Server (NAS) is a RADIUS client.  It should be
defined in "clients.conf"

  

I seem to have been able to connect the client box by adding an entry 
into client.com
    

  *Please* be careful about terminology.  If you keep getting it wrong,
you won't be able to remember what thing means what, and any answers
here won't help you.

  

Sorry - this should have been clients.conf

# 03/05/2007 - kbailey
# Test connection to AF-IT Epygi box.
client quadro.af-it.com {
        secret          = password
        shortname       = afit_test
        nastype         = epygi
}


But this is not showing up under the NAS list in the dialupadmin 
interface - under Radius clients, NAS administration.
    

  Because dialupadmin looks in an SQL database for the clients.  It
doesn't read the "clients.conf" file.

  

So can clients be stored in various places? - or should I only use /etc/freeradius/clients.conf for the freeradius server.  This was the place which seemed to work.

Have spent several days reading as much online as possible and now have the system authenticating calls from a VOIP box - but it's a big subject to get on board!

Thanks,
