Acording to strace -s is not enough to execute with root rights, I had to 
comment the user/group entries from radiusd.conf. Anyway, even running as 
root it fails the same way :-/

I have run it both with radiusd user and with root and diff-ed the -X 
output and I only got this difference:

# diff -u log log2

Seems ok
# ldd /usr/lib/rlm_unix.so 
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x4002c000)
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x40059000)

        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x40081000)

        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

I have noticed one message about this on gentoo-users list but no reply. 
Either the complainer found the solution or he dropped it. I presume too 
to be something related to the system (gentoo linux distro) but I would 
very much apriciate someone with more freeradius experience to guide me 
where to look for problems, in the end if there really is a problem we get 
happy people on both sides (gentoo users which will use freeradius ;)).
