ippool module permission denied

[S. K Rahman]

Hello all,

I am prototyping a wifi net access system using prebuilt version of
freeradius that came with opensuse. The version is 1.0.4-4

Inorder to have control over the IP assigned when a user authenticates
itself I have uncommented the mail_pool from the post auth and
accounting section and kept the ippool main_pool section as it is the
config.

Unfortunately it does not work. When I run the raddius -X it throws me an error

rlm_ippool: Failed to open file /etc/raddb/db.ippool: Permission denied

The entire rml_pool error is listed below
I thought the issue would be related to write access so I checked for
the permission. The /etc/raddb directory owner is radiusd

I am not sure what I am doing wrong
