You can use your shadow file if you set the password file name to be /etc/shadow
(or whatever it's called on your system). The only kick in the teeth is that
primary group ID no longer works.
You'll need a dummy entry in your radius.cfg file to map Auth-Type = System
to the UNIX authentication module.
<Realm dummyrealmforholdingauthbyunix>
<AuthBy UNIX>
Identifier System
Filename /etc/shadow
</AuthBy>
</Realm>
There's also handy Livingston emulation stuff in the 'goodies' directory, look
at the README.
