I am trying to configure openser + freeradius for authentication & accounting.
I have my freeradius configured with openldap and it's working successfully.

tested with

radclient -f digest 127.0.0.1:1812 auth testing123

results are successfull.

However I cannot get it to work with openser. I see nothing happening in my "/usr/sbin/radius -X" output coming from openser when i try to register.

My enviroment was tested on Fedora 8 and Fedora 9 both with rpm's and same results.

auth_radius:radius_authorize_sterman: rc_auth failed

no output is seen in my /usr/sbin/radius -X

Below please find my openser.cfg & radiusclient.conf & servers

######## radiusclient.conf

# General settings

# specify which authentication comes first respectively which
# authentication is used. possible values are: "radius" and "local".
# if you specify "radius,local" then the RADIUS server is asked
# first then the local one. if only one keyword is specified only
# this server is asked.
