During conversion from radiusd-freeradius* packages to freeradius* packages, the directory for configuration has moved to /etc/freeradius from /etc/raddb. Since a number of things have changed in the way freeradius is configured this package does not automatically copy your old configuration; please do that manually. Also, the upstream supplied dictionaries are now in /usr/share/freeradius/. /etc/freeradius/dictionary is still the place for local dictionary additions. See /etc/freeradius/dictionary for details. If FreeRADIUS fails to start, without any error message, be sure that the directory specified for the pidfile in the configuration is correct. If it is incorrect, or not writeable by user freerad or group freerad, then FreeRADIUS will fail to start. The initscript supplied expects this to be /var/run/freeradius/freeradius.pid, and /var/run/freeradius/ is created by the maintainer scripts.
