NIS 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.
