I didn't test telnet, but most daemons that use pam (like sshd) has a line

@include common-auth

so I simply add

auth sufficient pam_radius_auth.so

on top of /etc/pam.d/common-auth to enable radius auth for everything
(including ssh). Note that:
- you need to edit pam_radius_auth config file first (when using Ubuntu's
package, it's on /etc/pam_radius_auth.conf)
- the user needs to exist already on the server (e.g on /etc/passwd, ldap,
or whatever method you use to store user accounts on the server)

If it still doesn't work, make sure to look at freeradius's debug log (
