I think the best way is to have two machines with complete password info
and run RADIUSD on them. Then use hacked versions of login, ftpd, popper
etc. on the other machines to authenticate via RADIUS. On shell account
machines, hack login to add the user to the local passwd database for the
duration of their session and hack getty to yank them out again when they
log off or get disconnected.

People have created some of this stuff already and one Linux based ISP may
have all of this running but he is still tinkering and won't release any
of it yet.
