That guide has several mistakes just at a glance. Please consult wiki.freeradius.org where the docs you read have a much higher chance of being correct. > rlm_exec: Wait=yes but no output defined.

I have no clue at all what could be What's wrong is that radiusd.conf references raddb/dictionary; raddb/dictionary references /usr/local/share/freeradius/dictionary; and the latter isn't there, so the error is propagated upwards since it's discovered whilst parsing radiusd.conf - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
