RADIATOR does.  Check out http://www.open.com.au/radiator/

There's also a patch to allow the Cistron RADIUS server to backend to
LDAP.  You can get it at...

http://www.wwnet.net/~james/radiusd-cistron-1.5.4.3-beta15-ldap.patch

Our network manager is in love with CiscoSecure for some reason, so I just
ended up writing a quick script to make up a /etc/passwd style file off of
the LDAP database.  I have it set to run from cron every 15 minutes.

By the way, the Cisco access servers support RADIUS too.  We're using
RADIUS with a pair of AS5300s.
