I know this has come up before, and in a perfect world, where * was the
primary app, you don't need RADIUS.  In enterprise environments where
RADIUS accounting is already embedded into other aspects of the
workflow, it would be beneficial.

Understand....* boxes are in real live actual production now.  Once you
leave the vacuum of the lab, there are going to be things like this that
come up.  And many will be for good reasons.  Others will be for crappy,
legacy reasons.  Both scenarios are valid in the real world.
