We are using AIX 3.2.5 with the version of Merit Radius that I downloaded
yesterday 2.4.21:
radcheck shows:
auth queue: 2/1, acct queue: 0/0, maxtime: 0 (Wed Apr 10 16:06:15 1996)
authfile: 0, clients: 2, users: 4, fsm: 5, Wed Apr 10 16:06:15 1996
Version 2.4.21 NOSHADOW aix M_UNIX

"mum(1645)" is responding

The only Authentication-Type line is:

DEFAULT Authentication-Type = Unix-PW
Filter-Id = "unlim"

and, other than the three sample users (dumbuser, pppuser and slipuser)
that was in the prototype, is the only non-commented section of the users
file.

The error message that I am getting from radpwtst is:

"testuser" authentication failed(RC=1): No reply from RADIUS server
"mum.neric.org"

The /etc/shells file contains /bin/ksh, /bin/sh, /bin/csh.
