Yes, you can say that again.  Radius is nice, but..  Up until now you've 
often had to duplicate accounts, passwords etc etc - one set for the 
terminal servers, one for the shell/mail/etc servers.  The possibility of 
storing everything in one place would be really nice, as long as it was 
quick and robust.  ppp/CHAP can't be used with unix encrypted passwords, 
so you can't use a unix /etc/master.passwd file as a source for ``secure'' 
(as microsoft calls it) authentication.

I have a personal interest in this area, but have not had much to do with
Radius yet.  This will be changing as I'm going to be introduced (with
force :-) to terminal servers that use Radius sometime over the next few
months.
