I agree it looks normal, except it keeps occuring/looping.  It generated a 6
Meg log file in a few hours.

First I make sure there are no processes running.

radius2:/etc/raddb # ps auwx | grep radius
root     26797  0.0  0.2   1820   604 pts/1    S+   14:23   0:00 grep radius

Then I ran it from the command line:

radius2:/etc/raddb # /usr/bin/radiusd -config_file /etc/raddb/radius.cfg
-trace 4 -foreground
Could not bind authentication socket: Address already in use at
/usr/bin/radiusd line 482.

It appears it is starting up multiple instances or something, I don't see
how that can occur.  I'm not using the restart wrapper or anything yet.  How
can something like that occur (ie would could I be doing in the cfg file
that the other server works fine and this one doesn't?).
