To add to that, the same config error on v3 does give an error
message, but although it's technically true (a home server being
defined by its name *and* type), it's not entirely helpful-

raddb/proxy.conf[593]: Unknown home_server "localhost".

Don't know if there are any ways to improve that message - I guess
there are a number of reasons that the home_server might not be
found. The line number should point to the problem section,
though.
