Where the heck does /etc/sbin/rc.radiusd comes from? Which Ubuntu and
FR version are you using?

Current FR packages for Ubuntu uses /etc/init.d/freeradius, although
rc.radiusd is still available in /usr/share/doc/freeradius/examples.

Since FR is still using legacy init script, the "Debian" (and thus,
Ubuntu) way of doing it is using update-rc.d (see "man update-rc.d").

However, being familiar with Redhat's chkconfig, I prefer to use
sysv-rc-conf (from universe repository), which has similar syntax to
chkconfig. With sysv-rc-conf, you'd do something like this:

$ sudo sysv-rc-conf --list freeradius
freeradius   0:off	1:off	2:off	3:off	4:off	5:off	6:off
$ sudo sysv-rc-conf freeradius on
$ sudo sysv-rc-conf --list freeradius
freeradius   0:off	1:off	2:on	3:on	4:on	5:on	6:off
