NAME
clients - RADIUS clients file
DESCRIPTION
The clients file resides in the radius database directory, by default
/etc/raddb. Its use is depreciated in favour of clients.conf.
Every line starting with a hash sign ('#') is treated as comment and
ignored.
Each line of the file contains two white-space delimited fields.
client hostname
The RADIUS clients hostname. This may be a plain hostname, or a
dotted-quad IP address.
secret This is the so-called "shared secret" that is held between a
RADIUS server and client. It is used to encrypt passwords in
RADIUS packets, and also for authentication. You need to config-
ure the same secret on the client (terminal server) as in this
file.
The clients file is read by radiusd on startup only.
