+.TH rlm_unix 5 "17 February 2005" "" "FreeRADIUS Module"
+.SH NAME
+rlm_unix \- FreeRADIUS Module
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fIrlm_unix\fP module reads crypt(3) passwords from the system
+password file, and allows the server to use them for authentication.
+The module also provides FreeRADIUS an interface into a radwtmp file
+(used by "radlast") when added to the accounting section.
+.PP
+The \fIrlm_unix\fP module should be listed in the
+"authenticate" section. Please see the default \fIradiusd.conf\fP
+shipped with the server for an example of the correct usage of this
+module.
+.PP
+As of FreeRADIUS 1.1.0, the module no longer reads, or caches
+/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, or /etc/group. If you wish to cache those
+files, see \fIrlm_passwd\fP. Most, if not all, configurations should
+not need those files to be cached.
+.PP
+The main configuration items to be aware of are:
+.IP radwtmp
+The path to the system wtmp file to be used for keeping the database
+of online users as read by the 'radlast' program.
