[Help-gnu-radius] Re: clients file question

[Brent Kearney]

Hi Again,

I had a slight misconception about the radius protocol when I
formulated this question.  Here's a revised one:

If there are no entries in the raddb/clients file, will radiusd accept
requests from all, or from no hosts/devices? 

Thanks,

Brent
