[Pkg-freeradius-maintainers] Bug#920345: Bug#920345: freeradius: running freeradius with debug(-X) option breaks systemd unit

[Mariusz Gronczewski]

In our case it was enough to add dropin changing execstart to include
-f and type to simple:

ExecStart=/usr/sbin/freeradius -f $FREERADIUS_OPTIONS
Type=simple

What do you mean by "it is expected" ? Currently enabling debug (by
setting FREERADIUS_OPTIONS="-X") cause it to enter restart loop,
surely that isn't an expected behaviour ?
