You could add radiusd (the user) to the group that otpd runs as (possibly 'otpd'), that way radiusd can access anything the group is allowed to access. This is something recommended when using winbindd with FR. :-)

The radiusd account has a shell that does not allow interactive login. Use su --shell=/bin/bash -l radiusd otptest :-)

What's the actual ownership of that socket? Also... If you're running Fedora, is there any chance SELinux is messing with this?
