You're probably talking about defining a new authentication module (which can then do anything you want). A quick way would be to use rlm_perl to embed a perl module that does the authentication (see 
http://wiki.freeradius.org/index.php/Rlm_perl). It can access a DB etc if required.Thanks,Alex

 Subject: authenticating based on Nas-Port-Id
 
 
 hi,
 
 i been using freeradius fastuser based authentication for several 
 thousand adsl customers for the last year or so now and it has 
 proved extremely reliable.
 
 in order to simplify customer setup and minimise lost password 
 support etc id like to start authenticating users based on 
 NAS-Port-Id rather than User-Name. (the dslams/basen we use 
 support populating NAS-Port-Id with the dslam/frame/slot/port).
 
 i am also working on migrating to a mysql authentication backend.
 
 so, does anyone have any tips on setting up NAS-Port-Id based
 authentication with users/fastusers/sql? i hope to permit the 
 user to use any username/password combination.
 
 thanks for your help and an excellent radius server,
 
 colm
