NuFW needs userid and user groups to be able to filter. The issue is
that radius dos not provide this. You thus need an other method to
access these informations. That's why I was suggesting to use LDAP
(which is often a backend for Radius) to fetch userid and user groups.
If you are using a different backend, you may try to configure NSS to
use this backend.

If you don't need to differentiate users and only want to do accounting
and logging stuff, we could think to a fallback method where users will
be in the same default group.
