the documentation is pretty clear. there are plenty of sites
out there - can you not google for 'using freeradius mysql' ?

radiusd -X is for debugging. you should see success messages when you
try to authenticate against the server using accounts in the authorized
mysql table. running in the background? of course! but you can only
run it int he background once you've got it working - for otherwise
it wont be working and you wont know why. to run it in background
as a Fedora install package you simply make sure the service is known by
the init scripts.  'chkconfig radiusd on' and you can start it with
/sbin/service radius start  without rebooting. (future reboots
will have radiusd process starting by default after the chkconfig)
