emerging freeradius (any version currently in portage) will not give you working
init scripts as the current init scripts rely on /var/run/radiusd existing and
being writable. In the current ebuild the line:
dodir /var/run/radiusd

should be replaced with

keepdir /var/run/radiusd

i'd do it myself but thought it would be considered rude ;)

fixed by creating the missing directory in checkconfig() (I'm not confortable
with .keep in /var/run subdirectories).

thanks for pointing this out! :-[
