You will have to add a second definition into your inetd.conf file (or 
equivalent on your system) for the radius accounting port as well as the 
radius authentication port. On my system the services file defines "radius" 
for authentication and "radacct" for accounting.

I have copied Mike on this mail so he can add something to the manual.

Thanks for pointing this out.
