Got log files? From both the client and the server? Post those, if so.

There are log files generated on both the client and the server. When you attempt a connection, there will be information in both log files that will help you (and us) figure out what went wrong.

Look for files named radius.log. One way would be:

Code:

$ su
Password:
# find / -name radius.log

Attempt to connect again, and then find the logs on both the client and server. Copy the files to another location, like so:

Code:

# cp /etc/radiusd/radius.log /home/you/client-radius.log

Then, post the log files here in a forum reply. Make sure that you do not include any confidential information like passwords, shared secrets, etc.
