good suggestion

Since this is Fedora and uses System V initscript it will start as root 
and then drop privileges to the radiusd user.

However, if he initially ran the server *manually* as non-root it might 
have created files with the wrong ownership and permissions which would 
block the server from initializing when run properly. The most likely 
files improperly created would be the automatic certificate creation.
