pwdb means that all of the account info is in /etc/passwd, and 
authentication is done by RADIUS, right?

Do you need RADIUS for account management or session or session setup? 
I'd have thought it was only useful for the "auth" type.

That's odd, all right.  I'd strace authtest and see what's happening 
before it prints that error.  I can't imagine why it'd work for one user 
and not for another.

That message is misleading in this context.  When you don't give 
authtest a password, it doesn't do authentication.  All it does is look 
up the account info via authdaemond.  In this case, it's getting that 
from the system password file, or some other NSS source.  "getent" 
should work for that account, as should "id".
