+It is strongly recommend that the radiusd server has as few permissions as
+possible. That is, if you're not using shadow passwords, the user and group
+should be set to radius. For example:
+
+ # groupadd -g 272 radius
+ # useradd -u 272 -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -g radius radius
+
+Don't forget to fix permissions:
+
+ # chown -R radius:radius /etc/raddb /var/run/radiusd /var/log/radius
+
+And, last but not least, uncomment user/group in /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf
+
+Although this script can build a feature (3.x) release successfully, it is
+probably much safer to use a stable (2.x) release for now. However, if you
+decide to try the new release out, make sure to read the documentation
+found in /etc/raddb/README.rst (Installed with a feature release only).
