The lines are like: $INCLUDE SHAREDIR/dictionary.compat This is supposed to be relative to its config dir, /etc/raddb, but the ebuild creates no such directory. cistronradius will not start because of this. The files are directly inside /etc/raddb, and removing "SHAREDIR/" from all of the lines fixes this problem. E.g. $INCLUDE dictionary.compat
fixed in 1.6.7-r1 thanks!
