In a previous life, I did just this in order to replicate the RADIUS info (was using Ascend's commercial RADIUS, which had undocumented support for crypt()'ed passwords). But I used "rsync" over ssh to do the copying. Ran it out of cron every 5 minutes or so since rsync won't copy unless something changes. Worked well and I was happy with the security via ssh.
