The /etc/raddb is the default settings. In my debian box, radius files 
are in the directry /etc/freeradius/

In general you can get the list of the files from a deb package with the 
command line :
$> dpkg -L <name of the package>
Here we have :
$> dpkg -L freeradius | grep etc
/etc
/etc/pam.d
/etc/pam.d/radiusd
/etc/init.d
/etc/init.d/freeradius
/etc/freeradius
/etc/freeradius/preproxy_users
/etc/freeradius/policy.conf
/etc/freeradius/sites-enabled
/etc/freeradius/clients.conf
/etc/freeradius/sqlippool.conf
/etc/freeradius/templates.conf
/etc/freeradius/attrs.accounting_response
/etc/freeradius/attrs
/etc/freeradius/certs
/etc/freeradius/hints
/etc/freeradius/experimental.conf
/etc/freeradius/users
/etc/freeradius/huntgroups
