If I understand correctly you manually logon and fire up this program and then leave this user logged on, cause soon as the user logs off it closes all programs associated with this user. Which is how things work typically. If you want radiusd to run @ boot and stay running in the background, I'd suggest getting a init.d wrapper script created and installed. That way the system will fire up the radiusd @ boot in certain run levels and then terminate it nicely upon shutdown. /etc/init.d/skeleton is typically a good start for writing one, as you can use it as a base. However if you are unsure about doing this and stuff, I am sure someone would be able to assist.
