i didnt look at your original post to verify if i am meeting your needs as i only have a second here...
*some* RADIUS software distros can be setup so that when a NAS sends a request to it for authentication of say
someuser@somedomain.com and whateverpassword
then the RADIUS server can strip the @somedomain.com off (which in most places is called a REALM) and then look in the /etc/passwd file and authenticate from the login and password entries in the /etc/passwd file
in other words, the RADIUS file doesnt have to be populated with any info except "setup" and where to go to get the info it needs
make more sense now?
That is no good. What he needs is using RADIUS with a different backend, instead of /etc/passwd. I recomend MySQL.
