Right.

*nods* When you get to this kind of management, though, it's easier
if you have to manage many accounts to be able to have the account
grouped or flagged in some way (the GID, the shell, etc) so that your
accounting system doesn't have to check the RADIUS users file. If you
only have 100 or so users, though, that method should work.
