freeradius not responding on machine specific IPs

Kevin,

The relevant line is:

"> rad_verify: Received Access-Reject packet from client 127.0.0.1 port 1812
with invalid signature (err=2)!  (Shared secret is incorrect.)"

The shared secret to authenticate a client to the RADIUS server (for RADIUS,
not EAP traffic) is either not set, or you're using the wrong secret. By
default there is no shared secret set for localhost. Edit clients.conf,
search for 127.0.0.1. You'll find a line that looks like:

ipaddr = 127.0.0.1

Now, add this line beneath:

secret = secret

Restart freeradius and try again. The message should go away. Remember,
you're still going to get an access-reject response unless you setup the
user account and password your authenticating with in the "users" file.

Jason
