linelog permission issue

[Ibrahim AKSIT]

Hi dear all,
it seems that your log folder is at the / path which means the root of the
disk. It might be /var/log/radius.... or if you customize it as seen in
your "Thu Nov 12 19:22:15 2020 : Error: rlm_linelog: Failed to open
/radius/log/linelog-20201112: Permission denied" line. The owner of
/radius/log should be user "freerad" in debian/ubuntu case. You should
check your log permission accordingly.

The issue is related with permission.
I hope it helps.

İbrahim AKŞİT

Best Regards and Wishes
Yours Sincerely.
