I never said I want to run radiusd as www user.
Web scripts get executed as the www user. That way I need to grand apache access to HUP radiusd and that can be done with sudo adding www user to the sudoers file and allowing it to exec /usr/local/sbin/radiusd.
That is the only solution I can think of to be able to HUP radiusd running a script from web interface.
That's the whole point, I wished there was a better way to do that. 
The perfect solution would be to have radiusd reread the nas table when it gets changed.
