Thanks for the fast reply.

 > See http://deployingradius.com  It has a detailed guide for EAP / PEAP.

I'm actually following that one, it's very helpful, however I keep running into problems that aren't covered.

  >You're running it as a normal user, and the file is owned by root (or another user).

I'm sorry I should have included more information the first time round.

I thought I was running it as root (root at hd), and I also used sudo just to be sure (not too confident on Ubuntu's root system).
Let me know if that's not the case.

Also another thing I forgot to mention is this time the basic radtest fails.

root at hd:~# radtest testing password 127.0.0.1 0 testing123
Sending Access-Request of id 137 to 127.0.0.1 port 1812
    User-Name = "testing"
    User-Password = "password"
    NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.1.1
    NAS-Port = 0

    NAS-Port = 0
Sending Access-Request of id 137 to 127.0.0.1 port 1812

    User-Password = "password"
    NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.1.1
    NAS-Port = 0
radclient: no response from server for ID 137 socket 3

I had it working before but I have no idea why it won't work anymore, hopefully this is related and will help in some way.

Thanks

Andy
