Hi,

> Cannot switch group; nobody doesn't exist

that sounds pretty definitive. The group named "nobody" doesn't exist. 
radiusd.conf allows you to specify the group name for the server, and it is 
obviously set to "nobody", but "nobody" doesn't exist.

You can either add that group to your system (that's the clean way) or set 
group=root (and probably even user=root) in radiusd.conf. Given that you just 
need a quick-and-dirty setup for your exam, just set both to root, then you 
won't have permissions problems anywhere. 
But be warned: I don't recommend this for production use.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
