Colm,

What are you going to authenticate? If they can use any username/password,
then are you just checking whether a port is active or inactive?

You're probably talking about defining a new authentication module (which
can then do anything you want). A quick way would be to use rlm_perl to
embed a perl module that does the authentication (see
http://wiki.freeradius.org/index.php/Rlm_perl). It can access a DB etc if
required.

Thanks,

Alex
