Permissions for /var/run and /var/run/radiusd are:

<sigh> That's nice. The question was for *you* to figure out if the permissions let the server write the pid file.
Now that I run it in daemon mode (the -s option also prevents to run in daemon mode), the pid file is created. I included the permissions, even though I had figured it out myself, because sometimes I look and I don't see the typo... As the users file is running and updating correctly with kill -HUP, I will keep it that way. syslog problem is solved with tail -f. Thanks a lot, you have been very helpful! Pierre Forget
Yes, I am running it as a daemon with the command:
/usr/local/sbin/radiusd -s -f 2>>/tmp/radius.err >>/tmp/radius.out &
No, you're not running it as a daemon. See the "man" page. "-f" says to NOT run as a daemon.
Is there any possibility to use the Unix /etc/passwd instead of users?
Yes. See the default configuration. There's a "unix" module. You might want to look at it.
Do I need to deactivate users somewhere?
If you want users to be deactivated, probably.
