I wish what you said was true. I see that in Make.inc sysconfdir is set to /etc. Great. The problem is when I run radius -X after installing. It says it is looking for the config files in /usr/local/etc/raddb. I can use radiusd -Xd /etc/raddb and things work fine. The problem is making radiusd look in the right place without using the -d setting.
