did you install FreeRADIUS via yum and a repository
or from source?  if from the repsository you should have
a selectable service with eg the standard Fedora system startup tools
- maybe they've decided to call it 'freeradius' or 'freeradius2'
rather than radiusd?

if from source, then the install part (make install) wont handle your
OS directory - you'll need to copy the script (and maybe edit it
according to install path choices made) from the contrib directory
eg redhat/rc.radiusd-redhat to the correct place - /etc/init.d/

i'd note now that its not just the startup item - theres also a logrotate
script which ties into the system logrotate cron stuff to ensure that freeradius
logs (eg /var/log/radius/ get rotated when needed - eg each day for 90 days
retention)
