In debug mode FR will run as the user that runs it (e.g. root). In normal mode, if run as root, it will switch to the user specified on radiusd.conf

That's basic unix/linux knowledge. If you don't know how to do that, my best advice is don't try compiling your own daemons. Either: - spend some time to learn about unix permission. Really, it's not that hard. Use Google. OR - use distro-provided packages, or third-party packages compatible with your distro. They're usually setup correctly (including pernissions) and ready to use with minimal configuration change.

Failed creating PID file /root/radiusd.pid: Permission denied
who'd put pid file on /root? If you REALLY know what you're doing, edit radiusd.conf so that freeradius runs as root. A more sane approach is to look at vendor-provided package, or the defaults that you get when you run "make install" from source. Most default configuration there is usually sane-enough. -- Fajar
yes. i already set user = root group = root and i still get permission denied. tnx On Sat, Nov 5, 2011 at 2:25 PM, Fajar A. Nugraha <list@fajar.net> wrote:

Then look for other source of permission problems, e.g. selinux. Really, there's a reason why the default setup does NOT run as root. If you want to change that, then it's your choice, but be prepared for the consequences. -- Fajar

The PID file is in /root, because *you* edited the configuration. You can't figure out permissions problems on your OS of choice. So you have no business editing the FreeRADIUS configuration. Alan DeKok.

If you read the documentation, and have some necessary basic knowledge, no. It's easy enough. If you're being stubborn, refuse to read any docs, refuse to listen to advice given, then yes, it's the hardest thing in the world. Start with distro-provided package first (e.g. freeradius2 on Centos5, freeradius on Centos6/Debian/Ubuntu). They're usually packaged in a way that should work out-of-the-box with minimal configuration change. -- Fajar
