That's a problem when the binary isn't named "radiusd". In Debian for
example the binary is renamed "freeradius", so the FreeRADIUS package
doesn't conflict with "radiusd-cistron", "radiusd-livingston", etc.

With this patch either the "-n" option becomes mandatory, or you must
rename the config file. This is guaranteed to break every existing
Debian installation.
