No, S88radiusd is not Cistron. It's the link created by chkconfig to 
start radiusd at boot time. rc3.d comprises service commands for run 
level 3, the S prefix means it's a "Start" command, the 88 is an 
ordering number, things lower than 88 start before radiusd, thing higher 
than 88 start after radiusd. (BTW, this basic logic is being replaced by 
other mechanisms defined by LSB which allow greater control over 
prequisites, e.g. MySQL has to be up and running first, etc).

But ... this is really not a FreeRADIUS issue, it's an OS and system 
administration issue.

I think we've beat this one to death enough :-)
