These two issues are unrelated.  The log messages in question are
normal diagnostics which radiusd issues when it terminates its
idle subprocesses.

The RADIUS protocol gives no provisions for managing already open client
connections on NASes: once the connection is authenticated, radius
server has no further control over it. You will have to examine your NAS
logs/configurations for more information on possible reasons.
