Freeradius users,

I upgraded from the freeradius package provided in Ubuntu 14.04.03 to
Freeradius 3.0.10 and the radclient command I was using to track the
status of the server is no longer providing the server status as it used to:

# echo "Message-Authenticator = '0x00',FreeRADIUS-Statistics-Type = 3" |
/usr/local/bin/radclient -c  1 -r 1 -t 8 -s 127.0.0.1:18121 status
adminsecret
(0) Can't determine expected response to Status-Server request, specify
a well known RADIUS port, or add a Response-Packet-Type attribute to the
request of filter

# echo "Message-Authenticator = 0x00" | radclient 127.0.0.1:18121 status
adminsecret
(0) Can't determine expected response to Status-Server request, specify
a well known RADIUS port, or add a Response-Packet-Type attribute to the
request of filter

previously the status module was listening on 18120, but now there is a
section responsible for authentication:

$PREFIX/sites-enabled/inner-tunnel:
server inner-tunnel {
...
listen {
       ipaddr = 127.0.0.1
       port = 18120
       type = auth
}

$PREFIX/sites-enabled/status:
server status {
        listen {
                type = status
                ipaddr = 127.0.0.1
                port = 18121
        }
...

Any advice is appreciated,
Dennison Williams
