Freeradius systemd radiusd.service fails

[Ibrahim Almahfooz]

Hi everyone,

We currently using freeradius version 3.0.11 and it is compiled to work
with oracle db and everything is fine and smooth when running the service
using radiusd -X or radiusd.

Once we start the service using systemctl start radiusd.service or
systemctl restart radiusd.service then we receive the below error:

"Job for radiusd.service failed because the control process exited with
error code. See "systemctl status radiusd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for
details."

We figured out that the sql module in the mods-enabled is causing the
service to not start using the systemctl start radiusd.service. As soon as
we remove the sql linked file from the mods-enabled, we surprisingly are
able to run the systemctl command!

We checked many articles about this error,  some users mentioned this is a
file permission issue. We tried to change the sql module permission to
root.root or root.radiusd but all was failing.

Any ideas?

Thank you
