I just einstalled RH 4.2, radius and the radius utility testuser. I have
been having problems with authenticating users dialing into a USR Total
Control Netserver through radius. I always got "incorrect password."
To make a story short:

I start radiusd with the -x option. I run testuser (on the same machine
as radiusd) right after starting radiusd, I get the following messages:

recv. timeout

then testuser prompts me again to enter the username. After a minute or
so, radiusd responds with a successful authentication.

If I wait a couple of minutes after starting radiusd then start testuser
and enter the username and password, I get the following response from
testuser: ( please note the the text in brackets are my comments)

Received ACK (displayed right away)
Service-Type = Framed-User (displayed right away)
Framed-Protocol = PPP (after one minute)
Framed-IP-Address = 255.255.255.254 (after another minute

or two)
Frame-MTU = 1500 (later on)

testuser then prompts me for username and password again.

With the USR Netserver, I can't get anywhere. I always get the
incorrect password
message by radiusd. I suspect that this is due to some kind of timeout
or so. I have changed the network card and put another one (I had a
3COM, now I am using an SMC card), nothing changed, same problem.

Any suggestions,
Thanks.
