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? alan
