  Because it doesn't change uid's.

  You have likely edited the "user=" and/or "group=" lines in
radiusd.conf to set it to run as a non-root user.  You have then made
the configuration files so that the non-root user doesn't have
permission to read them.

  As root, do "su user", to the user you have configured.  Then run
"radiusd -X", and you will likely see more output as to what's going wrong.
