hello:

as i understand things, in order for Chap to work with Radius, the
user's clear-text password must be available in the users file. is this
really, really true? i think it just makes me nervous (whether that is
a rational response or not) to think of having those clear-text
passwords anywhere, so i am a little incredulous. i (obviously) don't
know a whole lot about the specifics of Chap, but is there any way
around this without hacking source code?

thanks,
Julie.
