3. DEBUGGING THE SERVER

   Run the server in debugging mode, (radiusd -X) and READ the output.
We cannot emphasize this point strongly enough.  The vast majority of
problems can be solved by carefully reading the debugging output,
which includes WARNINGs about common issues, and suggestions for how
they may be fixed.

Is the server running, is the shared secret correct, do you firewall 
traffic on the localhost interface?
