Are you using Ubuntu + libpam-radius-auth, by any chance?

If yes, the config is /etc/pam_radius_auth.conf (even if the file still says
"Copy to: /etc/raddb/server"). My test config file simply has these lines:

127.0.0.1 testing123             1

All other lines are commented out, and the test work just fine with radius
server running on localhost.

"other-server" entry.

Also, is 19.1.1.2 the IP of your radius server? Some things can cause the
client not receive radius reply correctly (like when the radius server has
multiple IP address). To narrow down the problem, you should test with
radtest/radclient/whatever-your-favorite-radius-auth-test-tool first.
