a quick solution here is to put a working drive in the dead BSDi box(*)
and install debian and cistron-radius on it. IDE or SCSI would be fine,
it's only temporary to give you another machine to juggle services
around.
btw, in my experience, cistron radius on debian has been rock-solid
stable and reliable. i'll probably end up switching to freeradius
(still on debian) in the future, but not until either a) i really need
some of the new features or b) there's a non-beta release of freeradius.
(*) i think you said it was the drive that failed here.
