  The explanation on the page says that the message you're seeing is
caused when those files exist, even though the service isn't running.

  I would say it has to be a platform-specific thing, and probably has
very little to do with FreeRADIUS.

  If the scripts used on your platform can't tell if a daemon is
running or not, I suggest contacting your vendor, and asking them to
fix it.
