I'm reluctant to plug my own work, and it isn't packaged yet either, but
if you're looking for a /stable/ server, with the flexibility of
Radiator, only lacking the number of modules of that and FreeRADIUS,
perhaps OpenRADIUS (http://www.openradius.net) may be an option for you.
It uses a language-neutral module interface, while avoiding the classic
spawn-per-request penalty you have for external scripts, and has a
built-in programming language to completely define what happens between
the reception of a request and its answer.
It's used in production and audited for memory leaks. The language
specification is not stable yet, that's why I haven't made a 1.0
release.
Cheers,
Emile.
