  Uh... why?  Why not just make pppd send radius requests itself?

  Exactly.  PAM is for authenticating usernames/passwords.  Adding
CHAP or MS-CHAP (which are NOT passwords) to PAM, makes PAM not work.

  Nope.

  How would pppd give the MSCHAP password to PAM?  How would it tell
PAM that the password is MSCHAP?  How would PAM tell pam_radius_auth
that the password is MSCHAP?
