This is very easy to do by chaining two AuthBy clauses, like this:

# define Authby clauses

<AuthBy UNIX>
	Identifier CheckPassword
	Filename /etc/shadow
</AuthBy>

<AuthBy SQL>
	Identifier CheckSQL
	.....
</AuthBy>

# define Realms or Handlers

<Handler .....>
	AuthByPolicy ContinueWhileAccept
	AuthBy CheckSQL
	AuthBy CheckPassword
	.....
</Handler>

.....

You can use an AuthBy SQL clause instead of an AuthBy RADMIN clause 
with no problems - just have a look at the table definitions in the 
Radmin distribution.
