First of all there is no such thing as redhat 4. Did you mean RHEL 4? 
Fedora 4? Anyway, it doesn't matter, just clarifying.

You don't want to read /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow directly so don't use 
rlm_unix, instead you should use rlm_pam.

When configuring any module in FreeRADIUS always read the documentation 
in /etc/raddb/modules. For the case of of pam you'll see that all it 
does is define the pam configuration file to use (e.g. 
/etc/pam.d/radiusd). Red Hat RPM's ship with the /etc/pam.d/radiusd 
file, although you may want to tweak it to your site.
