[RADIATOR] Slow Response to the NAS Clients

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Marvin -

There is a shared secret defined in the Radiator configuration file  
for each NAS client device.

One or more of the client devices has the shared secret incorrectly  
specified.

The shared secret in the NAS device and the corresponding  
<Client ....> clause in the Radiator configuration file must match  
exactly.

regards

Hugh
