Systemctl start issue on Freeradius 3.0.19

[Jorge Pereira]

Giuseppe,

That is the problem. you built the freeradius without the correct systemd
support.

please install the package systemd-devel, then rebuild again. therefore,
check if you could see something like.

$ strings /opt/freeradius/sbin/radiusd | grep READY=1
READY=1
$
