Here's the "easy" way:
1. First, compile your radiusd statically linked.
2. emacs /usr/etc/radiusd
^s/etc
Change it to whatever you like. :-)
Or.
1. Get source to getpwnam, getpwent, getspent, getspwnam (included in
shadow suite).
2. Change name of files to /etx/passwd /etx/shadow /etx/group, etc.
Recompile to suit.
Tastes great, less filling. :-)
Later,
