Run radiusd via strace. i.e.
# strace -s 80 -o /root/radiusd.trace -f /usr/local/sbin/radiusd
This will slow radiusd down quite a bit, but it will also give you a trace
file of all the system calls radiusd does...and often you can see what the
problem is by reading the end of the trace file.

WHY? They give you the ability to use a DEFAULT user in the radius users
file for a reason. You should let the DEFAULT user catch all users who
don't need special handling. I've got a 430 line users file that handles
about 2k dialup users, including numerous static IP and subnet customers,
and has comments in the file.
