Hello Michael,

Hello jck,

        I don't know what the proper permissions are, however

My problem is not permissions related.  I am trying to install FreeRADIUS
so that it references /etc/raddb, and writes to /var/log/radius.

Instead, I receive the following upon startup:

radiusd: Couldn't open /usr/local/var/log/radius/radius.log for logging:
Permission denied

Granted, this is a permissions error.  Please note, I am not worried about
the permission error.  Instead, I am worried about radiusd trying
to reference:

/usr/local/var/log/radius/radius.log

when it should be referring to:

/var/log/radius/radius.log

I still require assistance with this matter!

It looks like to me you have to chmod 644 /usr/local/var/log/radius/ <-
this dir then also make sure it is creating the proper log file ->
radius.log
Maybe one of these othere gurus know better what to tell you .... I ran
into that problem as well a week ago I think.
