Right now, Merit. The livingston seemed to run, but would never 
authenticate. The merit version at least has radcheck to see if you
are answering queries..

Since my email, I've made progress. It seems like you have to include
both the  -d and -g flags when you start up radiusd for it to keep running.
radcheck now at least tells me radiusd is running. It still doesn't
authenticate a known correct userid/passwd combo, but that's another day.
