freeradius & redback sms

We are currently using a Redback SMS 500 to terminate PPPoE sessions for
client desktops. Up until now an older Steelbelted Radius server has
been used to authenticate RADIUS requests forwarded by the Redback and
it's worked ok. We want to transfer the RADIUS support to a freeradius
installation but I am having a bit of a fit trying to get it to work.

We are running freeradius version 1.0.1, I've added the
dictionary.redback reference to the dictionary file, added the secret &
shortname to the clients.conf file, and I get this on the redback when
trying to authenticate:

Speaking of which, what should my nastype in the clients.conf file be? I
entered redback but I couldn't confirm if that was correct.

Thanks!
