In debug mode FR will run as the user that runs it (e.g. root).

In normal mode, if run as root, it will switch to the user specified
on radiusd.conf

That's basic unix/linux knowledge. If you don't know how to do that,
my best advice is don't try compiling your own daemons. Either:
- spend some time to learn about unix permission. Really, it's not
that hard. Use Google. OR
- use distro-provided packages, or third-party packages compatible
with your distro. They're usually setup correctly (including
pernissions) and ready to use with minimal configuration change.

who'd put pid file on /root?

If you REALLY know what you're doing, edit radiusd.conf so that
freeradius runs as root.

A more sane approach is to look at vendor-provided package, or the
defaults that you get when you run "make install" from source. Most
default configuration there is usually sane-enough.
