Except I don't think that will test your db connection (if you have
one).  If you use radclient to do a full auth test, you get a better
idea as to the status of the entire service instead of just the daemon.

We use a check_radius Nagios script which I believe uses radclient.

We also have a script that tails the radius log and pops those entries
into another db for our CS ppl to look at and I know it is working
correctly even if there is no traffic because I can see the Nagios check
entries.
