Help .Radius -X works but regular start won't

I have Freeradius connecting to and LDAP Server.. If I run radiusd -X I can authenticate ok.. IF I start radius normally it gives me an error stating that it cannot bind to the ldap server. How can it work one way and not the other? I thought radiusd -X was just debugin? Help... After 2 days of this I'm getting kinda Crazed.. Thanx Cris
