You shoulnd'nt.

/etc/raddb/modules/files is the configuration for "files" module. Open
it and you should see this line

        usersfile = ${confdir}/users

... which means "the user file is /etc/raddb/users"

Move it back

It case you haven't figure it out already, there are many files it
raddb/modules. It's only processed when a section explictly refer to
it. So:
- move users file back to its original place
- make SURE you have "files" in authorize section of
/etc/raddb/sites-available/default
- start FR in debug mode

at that point it will refuse to start if users file is missing. The
debug log will show something like this

 Module: Linked to module rlm_files
 Module: Instantiating module "files" from file /etc/freeradius/modules/files
  files {
	usersfile = "/etc/freeradius/users"
	acctusersfile = "/etc/freeradius/acct_users"
	preproxy_usersfile = "/etc/freeradius/preproxy_users"
	compat = "no"
  }
Couldn't open /etc/freeradius/users for reading: No such file or directory
