Check that nothing is listening on port 1812, even for IPv6.

Nothing listening except for ssh.

Also try posting the full debug log. Maybe there's another "listen" section which is conflicting with the 0.0.0.0:1812.

Check that nothing is listening on port 1812, even for IPv6.

Nothing listening except for ssh.

Since ssh is TCP, you know that radius is UDP and you need to check with "netstat -ulnp"

Oops, thanks! There was indeed another radius-service running. Killed it and the error's gone :) (I now have another error, but I should be able to work that one out myself) Thanks again, Joep Ruiter
