Cant radius use pam? perhaps you should look into that.=20

It may be a pain though, freeradius is largely undocumented, and what =
documentation exists is often incomplete, incorrect and full of people =
touting "IT JUST WORKS" when 99% of the time, It never works. Once you =
figure it out however, its great. I would highly recommend putting your =
raddb into a version control system.=20
