I'd be very interested in something like this. I attempted a freeradius install 
once, but gave up when I found the User Manager so quick and easy.

So would running the UM in a VM likely solve the performance issues? There is 
one other thing I thought of: I downgraded the RAM in the RB1000 where I'm 
running the UM to 512MB (from 2GB) when I was troubleshooting an issue earlier. 
I put the board back into production but forgot to restore the RAM. Perhaps 
that might help...

I'm using the internal filesystem on the RB, can I point the UM to a CF card 
instead?
