  It shouldn't be that hard.  If you change the configuration, re-start
the server.

  And READ the debug output.  There's a lot of text in it, but it
describes which modules its using, and what it's doing.  The ONLY answer
to configuration problems is in the debug output.

  That only comes from accounting traffic, not from authentication
traffic.  Please do NOT confuse the two.

$ script radius.log
$ radiusd -X ....
(run)
$ exit

  And then look at the file "radius.log"
