I know your pain from having worked on Solaris before and having to
manually do many things manually. My radius startup script starts it
minimally with radiusd -y, but I believe whatever is causing radctl issues
won't be fixed by launching radiusd by itself.

Your root prompt doesn't give much insight into directory layout. The 1.1
binaries are in /usr/local/sbin & your configs are in
/usr/local/etc/raddb? Does your config file point to the log file
correctly? Have you tried to start 1.1 with a minimal users file with just
a default entry and a test user.

I'm just throwing ideas at you.
