Ah, you are right -- tcpdump does decode them (I hadn't realized this when I wrote raddump).

If I may say so, though, having just looked at tcpdump's output, it doesn't decode them in a way that's particularly easy to read. That's clearly a matter of taste.

Fortunately, raddump is pretty easy to combine with tcpdump in a pipeline:

$ tcpdump -s 1500 -w - udp port 1812 | raddump -v

So I would encourage people to try it out to see if they like it. And furthermore to provide feedback!

Future releases of raddump will also let people specify customized dictionaries for additional attributes (for example, here at UPenn, we make use of our own VSAs for certain applications).

Finally, raddump also supports snoop packet capture, for those Solaris folks out there.

Doesn't tcpdump decode RADIUS packets?

  Or, what benefits do people gain by using radddump, over tcpdump?
