About radiusclient command

Question

I have installed freeradius server 2.1.12 and freeradius client 1.1.6 on different virtual machine (redhat linux) ,and tested the server using radtest which is running . I have set up the connection between client and server and tested the connection using radlogin which is also running properly, but the problem is with command

[root@localhost ~]# radiusclient -f radiusclient.conf -p 1812 -a User-Name = testing -a Password = password -a Secret = testing123
error opening radius configuration file
[root@localhost ~]#

Or

[root@localhost ~]# radiusclient -f /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf -p 1812 -a User-Name = testing -a Password = password -a Secret = testing123
Segmentation fault

If you are trying to check your radius server installation and configuration, it is enough to use any radius client such as radtest or radclient.

Do you need to test it specifically with radiusclient? I did not try this tool before. I think it will be a good idea to find an example on how to use it.

@Harman: What's the problem with other radius clients? – Khaled Apr 04 '12 at 07:01
The problem is in opening of radiusclient.conf file while running command radiusclient -f radiusclient.conf -p 1812 -a User-Name = testing -a Password = password -a Secret = testing123 – Harman Apr 04 '12 at 11:57

You can use the following command:

radiusclient -f /usr/local/etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf -p 1812 User-Name=steve Password=testing
