FreeRadius only works in debug mode

Thanks for the thoughts on this...it looks like the permissions on those 
directories are all good:

# ls -al /var/log/radius/
total 10
drwx------  3 radiusd radiusd  128 Mar 12 14:54 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root    root    1552 Mar 17 11:36 ..

-rw-r-----  1 root radiusd 14173 Apr 23  2008 sql.conf
-rw-r-----  1 root radiusd  6974 Mar 12 14:54 users

So, unless there's another location that the radiusd user needs access to? 
I've verified that the service is definitely running as radiusd.

I also looked up the possibility of the selinux protection and it's not 
set up at all on this system.

Other thoughts? I'm stumped on this one.

Thanks,

Greg
