  That's because PAM needs the authorization credentials, which are
usually found in /etc/passwd.

  The latest CVS snapshot of the pam module includes a dummy setcred
function, which allows things like PPPd to do PAM authentication.
That's because PPPd often doesn't need login credentials, it just
wants to give people net access.

  Any program which needs the console MUST get the uid/gid/etc
credentials.  The PAM radius module CANNOT supply those, so what you
want is impossible.
