Once upon a time Brian C Hill shaped the electrons to say...
> The portmaster (version):
> Livingston Enterprises PortMaster Version 3.0.3

FYI that is ancient. We are running 3.3.3 now. 3.0.3 is roughly 10 releases
old now. (Not counting 2 or 3 patch releases in there.)

If the user is in the local file it won't use RADIUS...

3.0.3 is so old I'm not even sure what tools you have to use... I believe
you have 'ptrace' - I would set up a ptrace filter that lists an traffic
coming from UDP port 1645 and 1646
Like
permit UDP src eq 1645
permit UDP src eq 1646

Then watch the packets coming in from the RADIUS host:
1. Make sure you are getting the replies.
2. Make sure they are coming from the right IP. If the host is multihomed
sometimes it is messed up and the packets are from a different IP then the
request went to. We will ignore packets with the wrong IP and try again.

Wait a minute - Outbound user? This must be the TC because we only added
that in the last release.
