Hi Rick,

So, basically the radclient is pretty simple guy. You told to him verify the user and password, if the server _refused_ the authentication. It means that your server doesn’t have such user or the password is wrong. Therefore, execute your radiusd in debug mode to see the reason. You could find the steps here https://wiki.freeradius.org/guide/radiusd-X <https://wiki.freeradius.org/guide/radiusd-X>

Ah! If you’re configuring a production server. Please think about using the latest version 3.0.20. you could find official packages in https://packages.networkradius.com/ <https://packages.networkradius.com/>

Best regards,
Jorge Pereira
