Summary	0009238: freeradius-wpe 3.2.5: startup, logging, and capture failures
Description	Issue 1: Startup Command Changed Unannounced Previous Behavior: The tool was launched with radiusd -X. Current Behavior: It must now be started with freeradius-wpe -X. This change was not documented in the release notes. Issue 2: Credential Logging to File has Stopped Working Expected Behavior: Captured credentials used to be stored in a log file for later analysis, typically in a default location like freeradius-wpe.log. Current Behavior: No credentials are saved to any log file. The radiusd.log file is created but remains empty of captured credentials. Using the -l flag has no effect. Issue 3: Incomplete Credential Capture on Subsequent Attempts Expected Behavior: All authentication attempts should have their full credentials (username and password/hash) displayed when running in the foreground (-X). Current Behavior: Only the first authentication attempt after starting freeradius-wpe shows the full credentials. All subsequent authentication attempts, whether from the same or a different client, only show the captured username. A restart of the tool is required to capture one more full set of credentials.
