I know it's throwback to the '90s, but my boss wants it done, so I
need to do it.  I /cannot/ find any documentation on setting up
FreeRADIUS with NIS authentication.  Does someone have some lying
around somewhere?  I've googled the Web as well as the Mail Archive
and I got precisely two items out of a good 4 hours of searching.

1. I need to set DEFAULT Auth-Type = System
2. The only list post about NIS (from 2002) mentions using
rlm_unix....and nothing else.

I'm not new to linux, just FreeRADIUS.  I'm know it seems silly to set
this up using NIS, but we use it in house (for now) and my boss wants
it done 'yesterday' and I don't have the time at the moment to migrate
everything to LDAP.  That's in the works, but he doesn't want to wait
for the switch to LDAP before getting this working.

Help!
