I did not think about it. The problem is that equal sign confuses
radauth, because it understands each command line argument in form
VAR=VALUE as a variable assignment (see
http://www.gnu.org/software/radius/manual/html_node/radius_160.html#SEC270
for more info on the subject).

I will fix this in the nearest release. Meanwhile, you can run radauth as
follows:

./radauth -v test

and enter the password when it prompts you for it.
