[afnog] RADIUS error

[Mike Barnard]

hi, i have a strange error occuring on my RADIUS server...ICRADIUS running
on SuSE 9.0. first, i have no prior setup knowledge of RADIUS, but from the
little checking, it seems like this install was done from sources, rpm -qa
does not show anything close to radius.

i started by getting duplicate authentication errors and then passwords got
scrambled...

Mon Aug 14 14:49:47 2006: Error: Dropping duplicate authentication packet
from client patton - ID: 39 Mon Aug 14 14:49:57 2006: Error: Dropping
duplicate authentication packet from client patton - ID: 39
Mon Aug 14 14:50:07 2006: Error: Dropping duplicate authentication packet
from client patton - ID: 39 Mon Aug 14 14:55:20 2006: Error: Killing
unresponsive child pid 3075
Mon Aug 14 14:55:21 2006: Info: CHILD: exit.

this was repeated a number of times for any client who tried to
authenticate. i restored from a previous back up and rebooted and it came up
well, only the clients who were trying to dial in at the moment the system
came up managed to get in, after that, no one else was able to login...this
time it was scrambling the passwords....yes i checked and made sure that the
secret phrase on both NAS and RADIUS were the same, redid them just to
ensure that, but it still gave the same error:

as of this writing, no packets are being sent from my NAS to the RADIUS
server. i can log into my NAS, i can access the management webpage too. but
no packets are being sent to RADIUS. i have run tcpdump on RADIUS and i pick
nothing at all this time.

any ideas??? im really stuck

Mike
