This means that after discarding all the erroneous entries from
raddb/users, radiusd ended up with an empty users database. It continues
working anyway in the hope that you will fix your raddb/users and send
it a HUP signal to re-read it.

Both entries are erroneous. An entry in raddb/users should consist
of three parts: a tag, a left-hand side list (a.k.a. "check-pairs"), and
a right-hand side list (a.k.a. "reply-pairs"). All these parts
are mandatory. In your raddb/users, "sega" is the tag, "Auth-Type = Local,
User-Password = test" is the left-hand side list, but the
righ-hand side list is missing. Similarly for "jume".

See http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-radius/2002-11/msg00016.html

for more detailed description.

The exact format of raddb/users is described in the documentation.
