Alan,
Thanks for prompt reply.
I haven't configured freeRadius yet but I got the answer in your reply as
follows.
>> Requests from a known NAS for an unknown user results in a reject
message being sent to the NAS.
>> Requests from an unknown NAS get discarded.
I did not notice in RFC saying Reject Message is MUST for request from known
NAS for an unknown user. But RFC implies same thin saying the request is
discarded by the server in cases of 1) unknown NAS 2) Badly formated
request
In case of one version of Livingston server version I saw no reject message
for request from known NAS for an unknown user. Not sure about it's RFC
compliance.
thanks.

I think you're mixing up users and radius clients.
If you add a user to /etc/passwd (or any other user database), then
the radius server will pick them up immediately for SQL, and will
require a SIGHUP to re-read /etc/passwd or the 'users' file.
If you want to add a new NAS, you must add it to clients.conf, and
SIGHUP the server.
Requests from a known NAS for an unknown user results in a reject
message being sent to the NAS.
Requests from an unknown NAS get discarded.
