This is both incorrect and out of date.  The configuration distributed
with Radiator authenticates directly from a Freeside 1.3.x database and
should *not* be used.  In 1.4.x, a textradius or sqlradius export should
be used to update an external SQL database for RADIUS.

You need to configure Radiator to log to a standard SQL radacct table
such as those used by ICRADIUS or FreeRADIUS.
http://www.sisd.com/~ivan/sqlradacct.pl was written for a customer and
you may find it useful; however, please note that support for the
commercial Radiator RADIUS server is not on-topic on this mailing list.

You should contact your Radiator vendor for support configuring their
commercial Radius server to log in the standard format all other SQL
RADIUS servers use.
