I just did this to create radiusd2. I have it read passwds from
/etc/raddb/shadow. I didn't see any equally simple way to have it read
/etc/raddb/passwd and /etc/raddb/group though. What's the trick for
those using standard libc passwd/group functions?

I'm planning to use crond, scp, and some scripts to keep the secondary up
to date with respect to /etc/raddb/* and the shadow file.
