I've seen the radiusd port, which I take it is the radius daemon management stuff.. and i've seen some code that lets a PC+lots-of-serial-ports look like a radius portmaster... If all this code is available then a quick hack plug for at least login, if not most of the passwd/group functions, shouldn't be too hard???
