1- the radiusd.pid file is not created

Have you checked file permissions? Are you running it as a daemon?

Permissions for /var/run and /var/run/radiusd are: drwxr-xr-x Yes, I am running it as a daemon with the command: /usr/local/sbin/radiusd -s -f 2>>/tmp/radius.err >>/tmp/radius.out &

2- the passwd file (which I believe is from the users file) is not refreshed.

The passwd file has nothing to do with the users file.

Is there any possibility to use the Unix /etc/passwd instead of users? With caching and auto refresh? Do I need to deactivate users somewhere?

...

I would prefer to use the /etc/passwd file and have it cached, but even if I activate it with cache = yes, it doesn't seem to work. I also use the cache refresh setting. If I use cache = no, it still seem to use the same users file.

There is no "cache" setting for the "files" module, which is the one that implements the "users" file.

To re-read /etc/raddb/users, you have to send a HUP signal to the server.

3- I want to send all the logs to syslog, but this also doesn't seem to work, unless it's sent to a file. I tried syslog_facility = daemon, but still doesn't work.

That doesn't work in 1.0.x.

I have a fix for syslog: I use tail -f on the detail file and send it to the logs.
