Since you have multiple people poking around on a production config, you are 
using some sort of revision control... right?  ;-)

I tried to reproduce the error locally and here is what I've done to cause the 
same error message to show up.

== clients.conf ==
client {
        secret          = testing
        shortname       = testing
        nastype         = other
}
== clients.conf ==

[root at noctest raddb.dial]# /usr/sbin/radiusd -X
...
read_config_files:  reading clients
/etc/raddb/radiusd.conf[327]: Missing client name

To fix the issue, find the broken client entry and either comment it out or 
restore it with the correct client IP.
