Couldn't open /etc/freeradius/users for reading: Permission denied

[Mitchell, Michael J]

I think your problem is that the etc/raddb directory isn't
readable/executable by your freerad user? If you run the server as root,
it first reads the configuration files (radiusd.conf, clients.conf,
proxy.conf, etc) then "setuid"'s to the configured "user" before
instantiating the modules, etc. Hence, the server has no problem reading
the configuration files first time round.
