Summary:                    freeRADIUS v1.0.1 package is obsolete and may be
insecure
Description: 
The freeRADIUS 1.0.1 package is extremely outdated, should not be used and
is insecure. Version 2.x is now recommended, but there's no such package.

Quote:
"As of January 2008, the version 1.1.x releases are no longer actively
maintained. Version 1.1.7 was the last release in that cycle. We recommend
that everyone using Version 1.1.7 (or any earlier version) upgrade to the
latest 2.x release as soon as possible."

My test is successful so far.

As you created the user and group "radius" as it is recommended, you may
want to uncomment these two lines of radiusd.conf

#     user = radius
#     group = radius
