Cant Start Radius Server MAC OSX (snow leopard)

[Sallee, Stephen (Jake)]

As what user are you attempting to start FreeRADIUS?  Most times FR is run as a daemon, so any user that tries to run FR should have permissions to look at FR's files, most time this is root or some other super user.  What does radiusd -X say?

Subject: Cant Start Radius Server MAC OSX (snow leopard)

Hi
I tried to Run Radius Server on Mac OSX Server Snow Leopard.

Tried to START Radius

It wont start

I had made a few changed (detailed below) I went to DEBUG with following out
put:

server10:~ admin$ radiusd -X
FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.3, for host i386-apple-darwin10.0, built on Apr 11

including configuration file /private/etc/raddb/radiusd.conf Unable to open file "/private/etc/raddb/radiusd.conf": Permission denied Errors reading /private/etc/raddb/radiusd.conf server10:~ admin$ 

I had not edited this file

Can anyone help ?

Thanks

CHANGES I MADE PRIOR TO GETTING THIS ERROR First time I used the Radius Server

Using Server Admin selected the Radius service - it appeared as expected identified and I entered a local time capsule (That appeared as a base
station)

The Radius Server was running

I stopped the Radius Server

AND using textwrangler edited /etc/raddb/clients.conf 

I entered the following text below the preceding "#" and above the text "client localhost {"
client   {
 ipaddr = 192.168.0.100
 netmask = 32
 secret = XXXX
 require_message_authenticator = no
 shortname = slr877
 nastype = cisco
 }

I saved the file closed the file


Using textwrangler I edited  /etc/raddb/users

At the end of the file entered

user1          Cleartext-Password := “password”
Service-Type = NAS-Prompt-User,
cisco-avpair = “webvpn:user-vpn-group=SLRgroup1”

Saved the file closed the file

Tried to restart the Radius Server and got the above error

Please help
Thanks
