  All I can say is that it's a docker / OS / file system issue.  FreeRADIUS runs just fine if the file permissions let it read the files.

  Since FreeRADIUS doesn't control the file permissions, there isn't a lot it can do to fix this issue.

  If you change the files to be "a+r", then it will work.  Which tells you even more that it's a file system issue.

  On a normal OS, the default install creates the correct files with the correct permissions, and it just works.

  There's some docker magic required to get the permissions correct.  I really don't use docker, so I can't say much else here.  

  Aan DeKok.
