Freeradius server can not see any request from clients.

[richard Bai]

Hi,

Actually, the *0* in the radtest command means *NAS-Port*. Since 1812 is the
default port for radius defined in /etc/service, the Access-Request
is always sent to port 1812.
I can see the same messege as follow when I type both 0 or 1812:
*            Sending Access-Request of id 40 to IP of server port 1812*
*                          User-Name = "username"*
*                          User-Password = "password"*
*                          NAS-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255*
*                          NAS-Port = 0/1812 (According to the number typed
in radtest command)*

Now, I am not sure wether the RADIUS server receives the Access-Request from
the client or not. As I said, I can see the packet arrives at the interface
and port of the server, but no information printed out in RADIUS debug mode.

And the local test just works fine.

Thanks!
