Check the PAM service file for the service in question and make sure that 
you are not requiring anything for account - ie use pam_permit.so:

auth       required   /lib/security/pam_radius_auth.so
account  required       pam_permit.so

Obviously this is only of use where the service does not need to access 
services on the local box that require valid account data.
