You've got to create the directory that it lives in, the server
won't do that.
Or, edit radiusd.conf to point the configuration items at the
directories where you want the files to live.

You don't have the directory of the radius server in your PATH.
This is a standard Unix system administration problem.
But the default 'rc.radiusd' file points to the radius binary which
is built with 'make;make install'. If it isn't there, then something
went wrong.

No. It would help to have a NAS, though. But that isn't hardware
for your Linux box.
