AFAIK you will have to do the interface to make useradd and userdel 
handle the database.  Useradd and userdel by default work with 
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and deals with local access.

Maybe we need more information on the process.   For example, do the 
users get a local account?, are they just being authenticated by 
radius?, or what exactly are the parameters?
