radiusd 1.6 mod for using NIS passwd map or flat UNIX passwd file?

When a users's password authentication is set
to UNIX, radiusd 1.6 relies on the OS's idea
of the encrypted password, retrieving it via
getpwnam().

Does anyone have a mod to have it retrieve the
password directly from the NIS passwd map, or
from a flat UNIX passwd-style file instead?

I need to do this because I need to run radiusd
on a host that happens to exclude most users from its
passwd file. So getpwnam() isn't going to
be able to retrieve their passwords; I need to
get them directly from the passwd.byname NIS map.
(Or alternatively, from a flat UNIX passwd-style
file that I'll create by ypcat'ing the passwd
map periodically.)
