that's how I've got it at the moment, but I want to use the user file
instead not the UNIX password file. What I want to do is use the user file
of Radius instead. My main reason is that the version of linux am using is
doing some funny stuff with the passwd file. I have a users "jim",
"jimmy", "jimwatt" and others. When "jim" changes his password his whole
line in the passwd file is somehow copied to all users containing "jim". So
am hoping to solve the problem using the Radius user file and radpass.

What I don't want to do is have to ask everyone to give me a new password.
