Third-ed. UUCP still works. At my previous place we used to sync the
RADIUS servers by having the write-only-master (yes!) send updates to
the Ascend facing RADIUS servers. They were never out of sync for more

In case you run an OS that has something old and creepy, look at
Taylor-UUCP (ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/ last time I looked).
