LogFailure does not affect the above. Radiator will always log
authentication failures using INFO level. These messages will go to
Radiator log file if Trace is set to 3 or larger. It does not matter if
LogFailure is 0 or 1.

I recommend using the configuration you have below. This will keep
Radiator's messages separated from results of authentication. If you
want to, you can specify AuthLog Filename as
/var/log/radiator/radius.log to get everything in one file, but in
practice separate files are usually easier to follow.

Thanks!
