My user account is not in the sudoers list, not sure how to add it and
not sure if this is a problem since I use "su" and then issued the sudo
commands.
FWIW, it is pointless to use sudo when you're already root. sudo allows
you to run a command as if you were root without actually being root.
It's a much safer working methodology to log in as a normal user and
only do things which require root privilege via sudo.
When I log into the box as a user, not root, radiusd auto starts, but
does not start, until I log in as a user.
Then you've screwed something up. Please make sure you didn't add radius
in some fashion (either as /usr/sbin/radiusd or as /etc/init.d/radiusd)
to the desktop startup applications. To check this after you log into
the account which autostarts radius goto this menu item: System -->
Preferences --> Startup Applications and make sure radius is *not* in
the list. Someone earlier suggested using Startup Applications and that
suggest is *wrong*, please make sure you didn't do that.
service radiusd status
radiusd (pid 1444) is running...
O.K. great.
Now stop it by doing this:
service radiusd stop
it should report it's stopped but you can verify with
service radiusd status
Now that we know it's stopped we can verify that it should start at boot
by doing this:
service radiusd start
Did it start? It should say OK. Verify it's still running by:
service radiusd status
Is it still running?
If yes then it should start at boot provided it's enabled by chkconfig
Why does the above test prove it should start? Because "service radiusd
start" is exactly the command used to start it at boot time.
BTW, having radiusd automatically start at boot time is known to work.
