  That seems fairly clear.

  This isn't a problem with FreeRADIUS.  You've configured FreeRADIUS so that it tries to write files to /etc, but /etc isn't writable.

  So... configure FreeRADIUS to write files somewhere else, which is writable.

  And in general, it's a bad idea to put DB files into /etc.  They usually go into a writable directory, like /var.
