Radius can be used as authentication mechanism. The user data (login + 
password) are stored in the Radius server and openser asks the Radius 
server for verification. Thus, verification of credentials is done 
inside the Radius server.

The other alternative is to use a database backend (subscriber table) 
and openser authenicates against the credentials stored in the 
subscriber table. Thus, verification of credentials is done inside openser.

use the auth_radius module (or the other radius modules if you need more 
features)

No. Usually the Radius server is on another PC.

If you do not know what Radius is and if you do not havfe the explicit 
requirement to use Radius, then do not use it and use auth_db instead 
(storing the user data in a database)
