The PAM guides can be found here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/ and downloadable guides are here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/pre/doc/ They are not specific newbie guides, but they are more complete. They are most useful for getting your head around how plugins get composed together. If the RADUIS plugin (or plugins) are not part of the core set, your best bet is to search for the webpage of the person who developed those plugins.
