Just another note: if you don't use the pap module, please note that using the internal crypt of freeradius is not thread-safe. It will start failing all crypted auths after some hours (if crypt is used by multiple threads at the same time). mod PAP has a mutex against it, but you will have a hard time getting freeradius to use it (as I said: search the list for my patches).
