My mistake on the working. I had checked the clients.conf and it was correct.
Does the login user need to have an account on the local radius server? In other words, do I need to create a user in mysql and link it to the radius database and ALSO complete a useradd statement on the Fedora box? No matter how I try it, I cannot get it to see past the shared key of the localhost. Thanks for all your help. Dwane - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
