Dale,

Thanks for the quick response.

I had hoped to avoid the testing issue by waiting until 2.5 was out of
beta. I should know better.

Turns out the problem was the backup copy of 2.2 that I had started to
fill in on authentication, which had stopped authenticating had been
intercepting the accounting transactions. Once I killed that on the
backup server, the server running 2.5 started working.

Sorry to waste your time, other than to suggest that the manual could
use some sprucing up in the area of 2.2 to 2.5 upgrade. I found
references in troubleshooting that referred to information in chapter 1
that I could not find.

George

Typically, testing something before putting it into production
is a good thing. Especially for mission critical things. :(

What problems are you seeing in -x15 debug more? RadiusNT 2.5
actually uses the ports you specify in the registry (if you
specify them), whereas RadiusNT 2.2 did not. Have you verified
that the ports are correct?
