Newbie questions for freeradius

[Root, Paul T]

I am looking into using freeradius  here for multiple client setups and I'm learning as I go.

My configuration is CentOS 7, and freeradius  3.0.13  - straight from the CentOS repos.

I have 2 different setups, one using the normal flat files, and one using mysql.

So my first problem. The flat file machine. It rejects every request. And I have just the most basic example from the FreeRadius Beginners Guide. That is actually written for FreeRadius 2.0 , it could be a problem.

All configs are stock, I just created clients.conf

client localhost {
        ipaddr = 127.0.0.1
        secret = testing123
        require_message_authenticator = no
        nastype = other
}

And users

"alice" Cleartext-Password := "passme"
        Framed-IP-Address = 192.168.0.65
        Reply-Message = "Hello, %{User-Name}"


It looks like it isn't finding alice:

So does that mean the server isn't  seeing the users file?   Or do I have to put alice in a group?


The second question.

The mysql instance is working better, following directions from daloradius, I've got it working for users that aren't in User-groups. With various clients:
radtest locally
radtest on a second system
NTRadPing from a windows 10 box
>From a Cisco switch with AAA authentication.

What I need though, is to authenticate from a cisco (and probably other vendors) machines to a group. There will be groups of NASes that need to authenticate to specific groups inside radius. And maybe multiple groups  (one group and users that aren't in a group would probably be acceptable).

Does that make sense?    I don't understand the difference in daloradius between "User-Groups", "Profiles", "HuntGroups", and "Realms".

Thanks,
Paul.
