Which is how the server comes configured by default. There are also comments in radiusd.conf SPECIFICALLY MENTIONING FREEBSD.
So... you edited "radiusd.conf" to change the default configurastion, but didn't read the comments directly above the section you were editing.
What kind of documentation could we have to include in the server so that you would read it?
Oh come on, I didnt know how FreeBSD deals with passwords, that means the word -lookups are done via database- didnt mean to me that it doesnt use shadow file...i still dont know some aspects of this OS so still learning, nothing about FreeRadius :) ... so maybe you could write FreeBSD doesnt use shadow file in the manner linux does, as it is not mentioned alot...neither is in the handbook i think...

Try it with the default configuration after installing from ports, you will discover it works, without messing with those lines.
There are very few things in the radius.conf that you should need to mess with if you are accounting to detail files and authenticating from default users with unix passwords.
Make sure to install from ports unless you are a developer, and understand how FreeBSD works.
