FreeRADIUS 2 not listening on right port

[Danner, Mearl]

You're not running NAT/PAT through iptables are you?

It'll translate 1812/1813 inside to <some high port>/<some high port> outside.

Not sure how the server will pick that up. Maybe the port after translation.

If so you'll need to not port translate the radius ports. I can do it in a Pix, but haven't used iptables for translation in a long while.

Compiling from source did NOT solve the problem.

I just upgraded by FreeRADIUS server from the version 1 to version 2 family. I have the listen {} statements configured as follows:
radiusd: #### Opening IP addresses and Ports ####
listen {
        type = "auth"
        ipaddr = *
        port = 1812
}
listen {
        type = "acct"
        ipaddr = *
        port = 1813
}
main {
        snmp = no
        smux_password = ""
        snmp_write_access = no
}
Listening on authentication address * port 41045
Listening on accounting address * port 54893
Listening on proxy address * port 38374
Ready to process requests.

However as you can see if always listens on random ports. What am I doing wrong? I am using version 2.0.2 which was distributed with Fedora 9.
