It's been a long time since I did RADIUS but I have worked with
original Livingston Radius and replaced it with cistron radius.  I used
cistron because at th time it was the only free unix implementation that
could log to an SQL backend.  We logged all our dialup usage stats this
way when I was working in the dialup world.  We used both on Solaris
at the time and used Cisco AS5200's authenticating off of it.  We
just used the plaintext local file for authorization.  We had cobbled 
together scripts to create users off of our billing system. Lik I said,
this was a long time ago.


http://www.freeradius.org/ has matured quite a big and can use MYSQL or
LDAP for authentication backends.  I woudl suspect that configuration
for the server itself still lives in /etc/raddb as it does for all
the Livingston derived code.  The main thing is you can store account
info and loggin info in robust db backends.
