I have been having the same issue on a new setup of gnu-radius which is
replacing a cistron radius setup.

14:16:37 Tue May 10 # radiusd --version
radiusd: GNU Radius version 1.3 (i386-unknown-freebsd4.8)
Compilation platform: FreeBSD 
Debugging flags: 
Compilation flags: USE_SERVER_GUILE USE_SQL_MYSQL USE_SNMP USE_LOADABLE_MODULES 
Compilation defaults:
Ports in use:
 AUTH: 1812
 ACCT: 1813
Paths:
 configuration directory: /usr/local/etc/raddb
 logging directory:       /var/log
 accounting directory:    /var/log/radacct
 pidfile directory:       /var/run

My auth and acct ports are the old style 1645 and 1646 in /etc/services.
Those ports are actively awaiting connections.  1812 and 1813 are
closed.

I have not done any research on the problem yet.  I am simply happy
to have the auth part working at the moment.  There were many
incompatibilities in the cistron users file.  I think cistron was simply
ignoring things that should have been errors.

I just wanted to let Mr. Leflamme know he wasn't alone.
