If I run it as -xxx from the command line it works. As soon as I drop the -x 
it stops working:

 radiusd -xxx works
 radiusd -x works
 radiusd -y doesn't work
 radiusd doesn't work

my default sys V init script has -y. I have changed it to -x and it works, but 
it is worrying that I didn't have this problem before I moved to the new 
machine.

Also, using -x makes it run in the foreground, whether or not I'm using -f. 
I'm starting to wonder if the guys at Mandriva have been messing in the code 
for their distribution...

There's a fine line between being on the leading edge and being in the lunatic 
fringe.
