I can't help ya with the first one, but my guess would be your system
crypt function is not working with radius somehow properly.

Sample setup for being able to test with radtest from localhost.

Put an entry in raddb/clients for
#Client Name            Key
#----------------       -------------------
localhost               mykey

# Put an entry in raddb/client.conf use the ports relevant to your setup
server local 127.0.0.1 mykey 1645 1646
source_ip 127.0.0.1
timeout 3
retry 1


Restart radius to read clients file:
radctl reload

test a valid account:
radauth user pass

PASS means it authenticated FAIL means it didn't.
