RADIUS is primarily used in username/password authentication,
secondarily with OTPs or challenges. It is not a host authenticator, but
a user authenticator. I suppose that you could pass a MAC address along
as an extended attribute, but why would you be doing that?

What problem are you trying to solve?

-dsr- knows more about RADIUS than is good for him
