FreeRadius Ignoring request to auth address

[Benjamin Diehl]

Okay, so I added my client to the end of the file like the documentation but its not giving me an error saying the Login is incorrect (Home Server says so)

Login incorrect (Home Server says so): [admin at x.com] (from client extreme port 0 cli 50-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx)
