  Don't do that.  PLEASE follow the instructions.  "radiusd -X" is good
enough.

  The debug log shows one user "test" logging in, twice.  It doesn't
show other users logging in.

  You probably need to double-check the captive portal configuration.
The "double login" has nothing to do with FreeRADIUS.  The captive
portal should allow ONE user in, when ONE user authenticates.  The other
users should be blocked.

  As always, FreeRADIUS does authentication.  It does NOT control
network access.  If a user is gaining network access when they shouldn't
have it, the problem is the NAS (or Captive portal here).
