Once upon a time Kelly French shaped the electrons to say...
>Why use radius?? why not stick with a /etc/passwd file??

If you have a distributed network, RADIUS allows different macines to all
connect to the same security server easily.

If you're using one Linux box - seems to me /etc/password is easier for
one box.
