user/group and permissions CentOS 4.4

[Andrew Long]

In process of building 1.4 on CentOS 4.4. When started (as root) in
debug mode, all goes well. When using default user/group nobody I get

> Info: Starting - reading configuration files ...
> radiusd: Couldn't open /usr/local/var/log/radius/radius.log for logging: Permission denied
>   (rlm_exec: Wait=yes but no output defined. Did you mean output=none?)
> radiusd: Couldn't open /usr/local/var/log/radius/radius.log for logging: Permission denied
>   (Failed creating PID file /usr/local/var/run/radiusd/radiusd.pid: Permission denied)

Can someone give me a little guidance with the permissions and
user/group setup for Cent.
