You can add a line to radiusd.c (see the unix_pass() function) to log
passwords. That's easier and more secure than a sniffer. After two
months you will only be missing people who never log in anyway.

Another choice: generate random passwords for everyone and instruct them
to use the new passwords and change their passwords ASAP.
