We currently have radius running on a SS20E/Solaris 2.5.

We use the DEFAULT/UNIX username/password scheme, it works perfectly.

We want to run radius on another server SS2/Solaris 2.5 using the
DEFAULT/UNIX scheme, however, we do not want radius on the secondary server
to look in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, we would like to copy the
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files from the primary server at regular
intervals to a location other than /etc on the secondary server and have
radius authenticate with these files instead of the standard /etc/passwd
and /etc/shadow files. This way authorized users on the primary cannot
telnet into the secondary, but can get authenticated by radius if the
primary is down for some reason.
