Rural ISP needs HELP with RADIUS+LAS

Thanks in advance for taking a moment of your time to help us.

We are a rural ISP serving northern Texas and southern Oklahoma and would
like to use the Merit version of radius to accomplish:

1) Variable simultaneous-use counts per dial in account
2) Session time limits
3) Session idle limits
4) Restrict authentication to *users* only, never refer to /etc/passwd

The intent is to run a *users* file on mercury.texoma.com, which is the ONLY
source of authentication, OIW:
./usr/private/etc/raddb/users contains only dial-in accts
./etc/passwd contains dial in accts + extra email-only accts (allowing
multiple email per dial in)
./etc/passwd should not be used as an authentication source

Running on BSDI 2.0 with 3 portmasters.

Could you please point out what I am doing incorrectly?

Please reply with cc:vaden@texoma.com as I have summary only mode on for
portmaster-users and would like a response as early today as possible.

Again, thanks.
