(RADIATOR) Radiator and Daemon mode

Since Radiator 3.0, radiusd no longer tries to detach from terminal. I
think this is bad as we now can't say that it a "daemon"

To be a real daemon, Radiator should close or redirect to /dev/null the
three first file descriptors (STDIN, STDERR, STDOUT), which it doesn't do.
Problem is that if I try to do a -HUP on my process from an ssh (ssh -c) I
never get my hand back, because Radiator is not effectively detached.
Furthermore, I keep getting some printing on my terminal after that: This
is NOT a real daemon!

 I already patched my source tree so that it works , but is there any
chance it is fixed in the future ?
