  You can do this without code changes.

  What "final authentication results" are you looking for?

  If you want to know accept/reject, see raddb/sites-available/default.  Read the "post-auth" section.

  And if you want to save the results to a remote server, use the "rest" module.

  There isn't any need to change the source code.
