The radauth utility sends the Radius server Access-Request
packet and displays the result it gets. It can be used to test the
configuration files. The usage is:
raduse [-v] username password
The -v or --verbose option forces radauth to be
verbose on output.
If you enter `.' (dot) instead of the password, the program will disable echoing on the screen, prompt you to enter the password, and turn the echoing on again, thus preventing the password from being compromised.
The program determines which Radius server to use, the authentication port number and shared secret following the procedure common for all client scripts (see section Client Configuration).
