#  Check the RADIUS server configuration files.
#
#  If everything is OK, this script exits without an error.
#  
#  If there was an error parsing the configuration files, this script
#  prints the errors to the screen, and exits with an error.
#
#  This process presumes, of course, that there weren't any DNS
#  problems causing the server to wait forever on startup.
