(RADIATOR) AuthBy LSA Config Issues

Hello Steve -

Thanks for your mail.

The log file appears to show that LSA is not even being queried -  
Radiator gets to the point of receiving the "inner" request and  
sending back a challenge, but then hears nothing further from the  
client.

More comments below.

How are you adding the local user?

No - although it does require sufficient privileges.

No. If you are using an AuthBy FILE for the outer requests you only  
need what you show above.

No.

I don't believe so - here is the help for radpwtst:

Radiator-4.2 hugh$ perl radpwtst -h

usage: radpwtst [-h] [-time] [-iterations n]
           [-trace [level]] [-s server] [-secret secret]
           [-noauth] [-noacct][-nostart] [-nostop] [-status]

eapgtc] [-sip]
           [-eaphex xxxxxxxxxxxxx]
           [-accton] [-acctoff] [-framed_ip_address address]
           [-auth_port port] [-acct_port port] [-identifier n]
           [-user username] [-password password]
           [-nas_ip_address address] [-nas_identifier string]
