can't get radtest/radclient to work

I'm having a really stupid problem.

I created a "dummy" user for testing:
useradd -m testing
passwd testing (set password to "testing"). not secure, but who cares - it's just for testing.

left share secret as default, tried to login locally with this:

echo "User-Name = testing,password=testing" | /usr/bin/radclient localhost:1812 auth testing123

I enabled bad password logging, and get this error in the log:

Wed Feb 27 15:13:18 2008 : Auth: rlm_unix: [testing]: invalid password
Wed Feb 27 15:13:18 2008 : Auth: Login incorrect: [testing/testing] (from client localhost port 0)

I also tried this way:

radtest testing testing 127.0.0.1:1812 0 testing123

and this was the result:

Sending Access-Request of id 92 to 127.0.0.1 port 1812
        User-Name = "testing"
        User-Password = "testing"
        NAS-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255
        NAS-Port = 0
Re-sending Access-Request of id 92 to 127.0.0.1 port 1812
        User-Name = "testing"
        User-Password = "testing"
        NAS-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255
        NAS-Port = 0
rad_recv: Access-Reject packet from host 127.0.0.1:1812, id=92, length=20

All the radius.conf defaults are left the same except the extra bad password logging.
I have no idea why that's failing. I know it's something really stupid like the "system" login fall-through bypass not being high up enough in the config or something.

Can anyone jog my memory again?

thanks!

Dan.
