Alan,
Thank you very much for the quick reply.
I have changed the  radius client package to
radiusclient-0.5.6_1 Client library and basic utilities for RADIUS AAA
as the old one was giving trouble (5.2 version) and now radlogin seems to work good!

Now to make the client use radius login instead of regular login (authentication), I have downloaded the ftp://ftp.freeradius.org/pub/radius/pam_radius-1.3.17.tar.gz file but the setting described are for Linux and not for FreeBSD.

Is it possible to get the FreeBSD settings?
Thank you and again I really appreciate you responding to my first question.

 What client is this?  It's *severely* broken.

 And the shared secret is wrong.

 It looks like the client isn't 64-bit clean.

 That's pretty definitive.

 Then the client isn't 64-bit clean.

 Ah.  Use freeradius-client, instead.  See the main freeradius web page
for a link to the "client library".  It's a continuation of
radiusclient-ng, with bug fixes.

 Yup.  And you're using old software that doesn't work.  Upgrade.
