  The NAS documentation says how to do that.  We don't document *other* peoples software.

  Linux has PAM support, and there is a PAM RADIUS module.  But, it only does user / password checks.  You will need something else to get UID / GID / whatever.

  To be honest, RADIUS isn't the solution here.  Just put everything into LDAP.
