radius server cannot handle external request

2 Apr 2008

      Hi,
   I have installed the latest freeradius server (version: 2.0.3) on my
Fedora Core 5 i386 PC.  Now it can work ok when I use "radtest test test
localhost 0 testing123" to test local user from local. And under debug mode
"radiusd -X" the server can print out relevant handle info. However,
Configure another machine as a RADIUS client and send out request, and the
server is silent, and stop "Ready to process requests.". That means the
server cannot handle external radius request.

The start info as follows:
[root@localhost raddb]# radiusd -X

radiusd: #### Opening IP addresses and Ports ####
listen {

}
Listening on authentication address * port 1812
Listening on proxy address * port 1814
Ready to process requests.

I have added the user lametest into users file. clients.conf also add client
machine IP address (172.28.99.51) and secret. BTW, I send out request radisu
packets using default UDP destination port 1812 (same as server
authentication listen port).
I use Wireshark and can capture the radius request packet. And it is right
request, but server cannot handle it and print anything on termination. I'm
confused. Could you give me some suggestion.
