Problems System Auth with FreeRadius (/etc/shadow)

[Min Qiu]

You may read the doc wrong.  The group you should look for is 
"radiusd".  When you create user "radiusd", the group "radiusd"
should also be created if you use adduser command to do the job.
You don't what user "radiusd" belong to group "root".  Do 
"chgrp radiusd /etc/shadow".
