I wouldn't personally do that, but I don't want to get hung up talking too
much about security options.  My suggestions as well as Matt's (and anyone
else's who would like to offer them) are in the documentation.  Do as thou
wilt.  :)

bin/svc_acct.export will spit out both passwd/shadow and radius users
files.  The other stuff in bin/ should be useful.  I expect it will need
to be tweaked for your site.
