They're usually setup correctly (including pernissions) and ready to use with minimal configuration change.

A more sane approach is to look at vendor-provided package, or the defaults that you get when you run make install from source.

Really, there's a reason why the default setup does NOT run as root. If you want to change that, then it's your choice, but be prepared for the consequences. -- Fajar - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html

You can't figure out permissions problems on your OS of choice. So you have no business editing the FreeRADIUS configuration. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

If you read the documentation, and have some necessary basic knowledge, no. It's easy enough. If you're being stubborn, refuse to read any docs, refuse to listen to advice given, then yes, it's the hardest thing in the world. Start with distro-provided package first (e.g. freeradius2 on Centos5, freeradius on Centos6/Debian/Ubuntu). They're usually packaged in a way that should work out-of-the-box with minimal configuration change. -- Fajar - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
