[RP-PPPoE] Question on PPPoE with radius.

[Ben Greear]

Hello!

I'm trying to set up a simple network to learn about
RADIUS.

I'm using Fedora 13 on the pppoe-server side, and I'd like
for it to use a different machine (192.168.100.138) as the
RADIUS server.  .138 will be running freeradius.

But, I never see any RADIUS messages sent towards .138, and yet things
still appear to authenticate (I have some entries in chap-secrets that appear to
be being used).

I'm starting pppoe-server as:

pppoe-server -I br0


[root at build-32 radiusclient]# cat /etc/ppp/pppoe-server-options
# PPP options for the PPPoE server
# LIC: GPL
#require-pap

plugin radattr.so

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,
