One possible option is to put your users into a Database - such as
MySQL. Once there, the /etc/raddb/sql.conf module can be modified for
local use on the database - you'll also need to reconfigure
/etc/raddb/radiusd.conf to actually use the sql module. Make sure you
have downloaded the whole of radius - and go through the documentation
it comes with - and *read* it.

If a user is in a properly configured database, Radius does not need to
be restarted whenever a customer is added or modified.

Once set up like this - you can authenticate other services like SMTP
(exim: incoming e-mail) and POP3 (IMAP) services from the same, single
database - as well as a Web+php front end for customers to view/modify
(change passwords) their own services - and use the info for your
internal billing purposes.

Radius may have been installed with  dialupadmin  - which may fit your
requirements.  http://www.freeradius.org/dialupadmin.html
(I don't use it myself - already had something - and Gentoo on my side
has it masked)
