If you are going to have a large Radius database, you will need to build
the DBM version of radiusd. If you are going to use UNIX passwords and
have a large passwd file you may need to use shadow with DBM support too.
And I'd certainly recommend that you use a 486 class machine. There will
be a lot of forking going on.
