This sounds familiar...  I had gnu-radius in a "non standard" location,
and I seem to remember having similar problems with radauth.  Make sure
that the location of radtest is correct in the radauth script:

address@hidden/var/db/mysql_2]# more /usr/local/gnu-radius/sbin/radauth
#! /usr/local/gnu-radius/bin/radtest -d /usr/local/etc/raddb -f

Also make sure that the config file for radauth/radtest has the right
values.  In your raddb directory you should have a "client.conf" file.
