  1. I have nagios setup to monitor radius, if I remember right all that is required is to have the servers defined in /etc/radiusclient/servers and then..

    define command{
    command_name    check_our_radius
    command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_radius -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u username -p password -F /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf -t 10 -P 1812
}

    then use that as a check_command like any other service.

    This has the password in the config file and on the commandline, but if you have a dedicated nagios box and test user like me this isn't much of an issue.

  2. There is rad_eap_test. It uses eapol_test to authenticate with EAP MS-CHAPv2.
