because you havent configured it to.

the '-l' option is to define a log file location. why do you believe it to be
otherwise?

check the radiusd.conf file. right at the top during the first hundred lines
are the parts that define HOW the server spits out its logs. you need to change
the destination from 'files' to 'syslog' - theres not much else to it.

> Note : All the logs goes to /var/log/radius.log now.

of course they do. you told the server to do that.
