Configuring RADIUS Users

[Madhuraka Godahewa]

Hi All, 
 
I installed freeRADIUS 1.0.5 recently, and configured the server as described  
in the documentation files. Using 'radtest' I can locally send an access 
request to the 'radiusd' process and get the access-accept message. 
 
Then, in the 'clients.conf', I added a new client entry as follows. 
 
< 
client 10.128.253.10 { 
	secret		= Sat429OSAD 
	shortname	= localhost 
	nastype     = other	 
} 
> 
 
Then, I installed the 'RADIUS Client Test Utility' in the machine 
(10.128.253.10) which is in the same network. I then sent an access-request to 
the freeRADIUS Server (10.128.253.110) from that machine. I observed the 
'tcpdump port 1812' and saw that the request is coming. But, the 'radiusd' 
process does not recognize the request and it does not send any message to the 
client and after a while, a timeout occurs at the client.  
 
Does anybody know, where can the problem lie?.  
 
 
Thanking You.
