Two comments about posting logs ... 

#1 Post the entire log of radiusd -X (NOT -XX, that has a bunch of timestamps 
we don't need) and don't redact anything that's not privileged info, you can 
very easily remove the portion of the log that holds the answer to your 
questions.

#2  your output of radiusd -X WILL CONTAIN your SSL cert passwords in CLEAR 
TEXT!  So make sure you remember to scrub them of any info you don't want 
becoming public.

If I recall, we used this walkthrough to get user authentication to work (which 
it does), but it still doesn't work for host authentication.  This is keeping 
in mind that users' creds come across as "NT-LIKE-DOMAIN\\USERID" but hosts 
appear as "host\\computer.ad.domain.name" AND that "NT-LIKE-DOMAIN" and 
"ad.domain.name" do not look at all alike.

I'll re-read the link, though, just to be sure.

For users, it's a number of things.  Bad passwords.  Attempts to use EAP-TLS or 
EAP-MD5 (which we don't support).  Misspelled or missing domain names.  That 
sort of thing.

For the hosts, it Just Doesn't Work.  I have yet to determine why.  (More 
research.)

Will do.  (Pulling just the relevant bits out will be difficult, given the 
verbosity of 'radiusd -X' but I have no shortage of hosts attempting this, so 
it shouldn't take long.)
