Hello Roman,

it looks like you have files from Radiator 4.8 or earlier in your system
and the perl path is set so that it will try to load those files.

Radiator 4.9 and later have Radius/Util.pm with seed_random() function.
When radiusd starts up, it will call this function. radiusd in 4.8 and
earlier did random number seeding directly.

One possibility is files in RPMs get installed in a directory that is
search after the directory containing old files with no seed_random()
function.

Try running perl -V and see what is in @INC. Then check the directories
for Radius/ subdirectory. Alternatively, try running 'locate Util.pm' if
you have up-to-date database for files in your system.

Thanks,
Heikki
