I am confused, as to the layout of the users file. I have a simple:

DEFAULT Auth-Type = System Service-Type = Framed-User, Framed-Protocol = PPP, Framed-MTU = 1500

yet, when I start radius (in debug), and attempt a dial-in, it nags the following: WARNING: Empty authorize section. Using default return values.

You edited the default configuration and broke it. Don't do that.

ERROR: No authenticate method (Auth-Type) founf for the request: Rejecting the user

Again, this comes only if you edit the configuration and break it.

So the WARNING is clear enough, but I am getting lost in setup files.

Why? Don't change anything. This is stated *clearly* in the "man" page.

the "sites-available/README" suggests that on a simply setup, everything can be in the radiusd.conf file;

It's possible, but only if you know what you're doing.

I don't see anything in my radiusd.conf which suggests an authenticate section.

Then don't edit it. Do one step at a time. Use the default configuration. Take the "users" file entry above, and put it at the TOP of the "users" file. It should work. Alan DeKok.
