  There's a whole lot going on here.  Most of it is addressed in the documentation.

  What we need when posting quesitons to the list:  http://wiki.freeradius.org/list-help

  Note: "radtest" output isn't useful.  "freeradius -Xxxxxxxxxxxx" isn't useful.

  How to read the output of "freeradius -X":  http://wiki.freeradius.org/radiusd-X

  How to make changes to the configuration files:  "man freeradius".

  Hint: Making massive changes to the configuration files isn't a good idea.

  My recommendations:

* use the packages from http://packages.networkradius.com

  There is no reason to use a version of the server which is 4 years old.  Updated packages are available, and are free.

* run the server in debug mode as suggested by ALL of the documentation.  Including the email you get when you join the list.

* if you can't start the server in debug mode because "port is in use", then there is already a server running.  See the OS documentation for how to stop background daemons.

* Make SMALL changes to the configuration files, and test them.  See the "man" page for details.

  That should be a hint.

  Because you started the server using a different IP and port than what's in the configuration files, it's not using the "default" virtual server.

  So stop the server (service freeradius stop, or whatever your OS uses).  Then run it in debug mode: freeradius -X

  It *will* work.
