It is a drop in replacement for the checkpassword function for
qmail-popup.  Just follow the manpage for qmail-popup and replace the
checkpassword program with the perl version that calls radius.  You'll
also need the Authen::Radius module from your local CPAN.  Go to
<URL:http://www.perl.com/CPAN> to find the one nearest you.  I'll append
the latest version, too.  It supports failover to multiple radius hosts.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -T

use strict qw( vars ) ;
use Authen::Radius ;

$| = 1 ;

%ENV = () ;
exit( -1 ) unless ( @ARGV >= 2 && $ARGV[0] =~ m!^/! && -x $ARGV[0] ) ;

my( %secrets, ) ;
open SECRETS, "</path/to/clients"  # CHANGE this to correct path
  or exit( -2 ) ;

  s/^\s+// ;

  my( $host, $sec, ) = split /\s+/ ;

my( $len, $buf, ) ;
open( USER, "<&=3" )
  or exit( -3 ) ;
$len = read( USER, $buf, 512 ) ;
close USER ;
exit(-3) if $len < 4 ;
