I just removed the debian packages, removes the /var/log/radius and 
/etc/freeradius,
did an apt-get install again, then followed the first step described in 
http://deployingradius.com/documents/configuration/pap.html, ie
place the following text 
<http://deployingradius.com/scripts/raddb/users/pap.txt> at the *top* of 
the /users/ file:
bob     Cleartext-Password := "hello"

then started the freeradius with a -X option : freeradius -X.

radtest bob hello localhost 0 testing123
Sending Access-Request of id 189 to 127.0.0.1 port 1812
        User-Name = "bob"
        User-Password = "hello"
        NAS-IP-Address = x.x.x.x
        NAS-Port = 0
rad_recv: Access-Reject packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 1812, id=189, 
length=20

it looks like I choosed the wrong FAQ.

the line added to the /etc/freeradius/users was the only modification I 
did to the users file.

anyway, I'll test on another host, to see if it works better.
