Hello,

We just upgraded one of our FreeRadius servers from 1.3 to 2.0 (part of a 
debian upgrade from Etch to Lenny).

Anyway one of the problems I'm having is updating the "proxy.conf" file.
It states that one should move away from the "realm" entry to the 
"home_server" entry. So I have changed this entry in the proxy.conf file:

realm somedomain.net {
         type            = radius
         authhost        = wendy.somedomain.net:1645
         accthost        = LOCAL
         secret          = ItsSecret
         nostrip
}

to:

home_server somedomain.net {
        type                   = auth
        virtual_server         = wendy.somedomain.net
        port                   = 1645
        secret                 = ItsSecret
        response_window        = 7
        zombie_period          = 40
        status_check           = status-server
        check_interval         = 20
        num_answers_to_alive   = 3
}

I had tried the "ipaddr =" command as well. Anyway the authentication 
request to the wendy.somedomain.net server is not getting through using 
this new "home_server" entry.

What am I doing wrong"

Thanks,

Ken
