If you are attempting to authenticate that user with CHAP, then you *require* the plain-text password of that user. You *cannot* use the /etc/passwd file.

RADIUS does authentication. It has to get the password around *somehow*. If your RAS did the CHAP authentication, then it would have to have all of the passwords.
