In production here. The USR dictionaries are included with the software.

No web interface built in to radius. The accounting and authentication
will both interact with a database (typically mysql) and a web interface
can be setup to interact with the DB. phpMyAdmin has basic functionality
if you don't want to write your own.

With a database back end for the usernames/passwords scripting maintenance
should be a piece of cake. cron a script to clean out the database of the
users who have expired, or setup your mysql query in radius to check for
account age.

Easiest way for mysql setup:

vi a file with users & passwords. Use :%s/^/blah/ and :%s/$/blah to make
the file you are working with look like a mysql file (INSERT into
password_table...'username1',password('pass1')...)

mysql -p < newusers.sql password_database;

Sergey is the current maintainer of gnu-radius and he is pretty active on
the mailing lists, but just about anything you can throw at radius is
documented in the manual:
http://www.gnu.org/software/radius/manual/

or in the archives of the mailing list:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-radius/

If you can't find the answer in either of those, post to the list. :-)
