radiusd only starting with radiusd -X, but not as daemon via rc.freeradius

[Michael Arndt]

hello *,

1. i can start radiusd with a valid and working radiusd.config using radiusd -X
   in this case auth using e.g radtest or other clients is working and stable ..

2. without the -X option and as a "service" via rc.freeradius
    radiusd will start, but authentication against radius is not
    sucessful, e.g. using radtest ....
    ( cannot connect to ... )

as far as i understand, difference between both modes is, that without -X 
radiusd switches over from root to "user" radius after parsing all config files.

So i assume a problem with a socket or else, but with strace i see no hint
that gives me a clue

any hints in which direction my debugging should go ... ???
