We are planning to go to having an entry in radius for each user, complete
with password. This is more efficient than the password file, because it
can use indexed lookup instead of searching throught the flat password
file. If you have shadow passwords, it actually has to search though two
flat files!
The big problem with this is that the password can't be encrypted in the
radius database. I am currently exploring hacks to resolve that.
