So I have gone through all the responses and will post everything asked for here.
My user account is not in the sudoers list, not sure how to add it and not sure if this is a problem since I use "su" and then issued the sudo commands.
When I log into the box as a user, not root, radiusd auto starts, but does not start, until I log in as a user.
So you say, but ...
service radiusd status radiusd (pid 1444) is running...
This says that radius is already running.

So does this.
Thu Oct 1 08:44:52 2009 : Error: /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf[240]: Error binding to port for 0.0.0.0 port 1812 Thu Oct 1 08:44:58 2009 : Info: Loaded virtual server inner-tunnel Thu Oct 1 08:44:58 2009 : Info: Loaded virtual server <default> Thu Oct 1 08:44:58 2009 : Error: Failed binding to authentication address * port 1812: Address already in use
And this.
radiusd -X ... Failed binding to authentication address * port 1812: Address already in use
And that. So, in essence you haven't got a faintest idea what is running on your machine and what isn't. All the info you gave us points to the fact that radiusd process *is* already running. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP
