/usr/sbin/radiusd -d /etc/raddb as user root.  As posted before, the  
config file has directives to switch to user radiusd and group radiusd

The directory has the proper permissions, but the radius.log file  
doesn't exist.  When the radiusd program starts up, it creates the  
radius.log file in the proper directory, but the file has 0640  
permissions owned by user root, group radiusd.

I know that it SHOULD BE radiusd:radiusd.  It is not doing the  
"correct thing".
