Hi,

this is for the _users_ list, not developers.

1) double-check the shared secret on NAS and FreeRADIUS - if they don't match, 
decryption of User-Password results in weird characters
2) post _useful_ debugs. Of "radiusd -X" as a whole, not just a few lines. 
radiusd -X probably even tells you that it suspects a mismatched shared 
secret a few lines later.
