RADIUS not authenticating

Thanks to members of these lists, I was able to get ESVA RADIUS 1.16 to
compile on a DEC Alpha clone (Durango 433) running RH Linux 4.2. However,
it won't authenticate anyone.

I've spoken to Livingston tech support, and they think that the problem
lies in passwd and RADIUS somehow using different versions of crypt. The
system does have the latest rpm's installed from the factory. The only
odd thing I can think of is that the passwd file came from an old Caldera
CND 1.0 (x86) system and had to have pwconv5 run against it to implement
shadow passwords.

I've included a short debug session if that'll help. The line starting
with LIVDEB: is demonstrating the differences between the way crypt sees
the two passwords.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
