Henrik (brix) helped me the other day, when I was trying to get cpufreqd working on my laptop - cpufreqd-set and cpufreqd-get were saying "No cpufreqd socket found", despite cpufreqd running and working properly. The solution was to add these two lines to the [General] section of /etc/cpufreqd.conf:

enable_remote=1
remote_group=wheel

Please adjust the code listing 3.4 in the mentioned guide to include these two lines, thanks.
