Hi, Surprisingly yes, testing123 was still working.... Thank you for the idea... I have managed to solve the problem: There are two raddb directories (at least, I have two...): /usr/share/freeradius-server-2.1.8/raddb /usr/local/etc/raddb I was modifying clients.conf in the first one, but in radiusd.conf there is: *prefix = /usr/local* exec_prefix = ${prefix} sysconfdir = ${prefix}/etc localstatedir = ${prefix}/var sbindir = ${exec_prefix}/sbin logdir = ${localstatedir}/log/radius raddbdir = ${sysconfdir}/raddb radacctdir = ${logdir}/radacct and having a look at this directory, I found the second raddb directory. I'm a bit lost with this directories schema in Linux... Is there any reason to have two raddb directories or maybe I made an error in installation? Thank you very much for your help!!

Hi,
I'm totally new in Linux, as well as in freeradius... I've installed version 2.1.8 in Linuxmint 7. I think everything in installation went ok... I succeed doing: $ radtest user password 127.0.0.1 10 testing123 with user/password the ones that I use to login in my computer. I get a response Access-Accept (I had some problems here because I wasn't able to get an accept using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1 ...)
I'm now in the next step. I want to change the secret in clients.conf, so I made the change: #secret = testing123 secret = abracadabra
I stopped radiusd and started again.
$ radtest user password 127.0.0.1 10 abracadabra doesn't work any more... and I don't understand why... because I'm using the same word.
does 'testing123' still work though? in which case, the server isnt reading the config file or directory you think it is!)
you did edit the 127.0.0.1 {} entry in clients.conf?
