Pareng Ross, you could do that, but what Radius client do you know of (other than one of your software-based ones) that actually uses SHA-512 for the hashing? Note that SHA-512 isn't even a NIST-approved standard yet, and is less than two years old. It's not mentioned in the RADIUS RFC's for that reason (MD5 and SHA-1 only for obvious reasons), so any SHA-512 RADIUS client/server tandem you create will not be compliant with RFC 2138, and no preexisting unhacked RADIUS client or server will recognize such packets. -- Rafael R.
