What else should radmin do?

[Rui Ribeiro]

Hi Alan,

It would be interesting to make radmin work as non-root. At least in Debian
7 and 8, it has not work since 2.2.2 at least; I am using 3.0.7 from git
atm. Despite the non privileged user being in the correct groups, and the
socket being rw for the correct group, radmin blocks, and never gives back
the prompt.

connect(3, {sa_family=AF_LOCAL,
