Did you try 'ls -l /etc/shadow' ?? That would tell you the
user/group ownership, and access priviledges of /etc/shadow. You can
then edit radiusd.conf, to make it work.
The comments about configuring on various operatings systems *might*
have caught your interest, to double-check what to do on your own
operating systems.

I'm sorry. The server doesn't come with sufficient documentation to
cover every possibility that every system administrator can
encounter. And writing 'configure' scripts to detect and handle every
possibility is very difficult.
If you would be willing to write such documentation, or post patches
to the 'configure' scripts, then we would be delighted to add it to
the source tree. Please don't be surprised if a free server doesn't
work perfectly as you desire, right out of the box.
And to answer the questions as to why I'm so rude on these topics: I
find it *incredibly* frustrating when I write code, documentation,
answer messages for free on the list, and people *still* demand that
I do more, so that they can do less work themselves.
I've said this before, if you don't like my free advice, I will be
endlessly polite, patient, and helpful for the low-low price of $100
U.S. per hour. Until then, don't be surprised if you get what you
paid for.
