radius newbie question

[gahn]

Hi all:

I just installed a radius server on a freebsd machine. It seems to be started properly until I am trying to test it with "radtest":

host# radtest testing password localhost 10 testing123
radclient:: Failed to find IP address for giraffe
radclient: Nothing to send.


here is what is in my "clients.conf":

client localhost {
        ipaddr = 127.0.0.1
        secret          = testing123
        require_message_authenticator = no
        shortname       = localhost
        nastype     = other     # localhost isn't usually a NAS...
}

here is what is in file "users":

testing         Cleartext-Password := "password"

here was my test for localhost:

host#  ping localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.028 ms

64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.012 ms
^C
--- localhost ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.011/0.017/0.028/0.008 ms

what did I do wrong here?

Thanks in advance
