Failed binding to authentication address

[Federico Olivieri]

Hi, thanks for your reply

That is the link

http://www.binaryheartbeat.net/2013/12/raspberry-pi-based-freeradius-server.html

I have just re-booted the server and that is the result

root at raspberrypi:~# radtest "John Doe" hello 127.0.0.1 0 testing123
Sending Access-Request of id 78 to 127.0.0.1 port 1812
        User-Name = "John Doe"
        User-Password = "hello"
        NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.1.1
        NAS-Port = 0
        Message-Authenticator = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000
rad_recv: Access-Reject packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 1812, id=78,
length=20

root at raspberrypi:~# ps aux | grep radiusd
root      3531  0.0  0.4   3548  1796 pts/2    S+   15:30   0:00 grep
radiusd

Same error

Thu Nov 26 15:32:34 2015 : Error: Failed binding to authentication address
* port 1812: Address already in use
Thu Nov 26 15:32:34 2015 : Error: /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf[240]: Error
binding to port for 0.0.0.0 port 1812

I don't understand where this second freeradius istance comes frome
