Hello, Jay.  I'm writing to you off-list (in private e-mail) rather than
post to LUGOD's vox-tech mailing list on account of extreme lack of
faith in LUGOD's listowner, Mr. Salzmann.  Details here:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/modules.html has details of
some implementations via hooks at the PAM authentication layer.  Here
are some RADIUS server projects.

o  The FreeRADIUS Server Project, http://www.freeradius.org/, is a GPLed
   variant of the Cistron RADIUS server, similar to Livingston's 2.0
   server.

o  Cistron RADIUS, http://www.radius.cistron.nl/

o  GNU RADIUS, http://www.gnu.org/software/radius/radius.html

o  Radiator, http://www.open.com.au/radiator/

o  IC-RADIUS, http://radius.innercite.com/, uses MySQL store, based on
   Cistron, Web-based user management.  Some people recommend this one
   highly.

o  The server at ftp://ftp.uni-hohenheim.de/pub/linux/pam/ .  Code may 
   not be very mature, and is said to be incompletely PAMified.  

o  Merit AAA Server (formerly Merit RADIUS Server),
   http://www.merit.edu/michnet/dial-in/aaa/

Some /etc/pam.d/* would need tweaking to use pam_radius_auth.so and
maybe pam_set_authtok.so (?).  You'll have to get to know PAM pretty
well.  ;->
