Hi, I am using FreeRadius Version 2.1.12 on OpenSuse 12.2. I have looked at several posting about the same type of problem without finding the answer to my failure. Problem described below. First use of radiusd -X resulted in /var/run/radiusd not found. Created : mkdir /var/run/radiusd Now radiusd -X seems to work; see attachment "radiusd.txt" for the output. First line in "/etc/raddb/users" is: testing Cleartext-Password := "password" Using radtest failed: linux-vdis:/etc/raddb # radtest testing password localhost 0 testing123 radclient:: Failed to find IP address for linux-vdis.site radclient: Nothing to send. Pinging localhost works: linux-vdis:/etc/raddb # ping localhost PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.065 ms Is the missing /var/run/radiusd an indication that the installation is incorrect? FreeRadius was installed using Yast2 software manager. /Staffan
