(RADIATOR) mysql with linux passwords

[radiator at int.ch]

Hi,

I am using PAP authentication.

What exactly does "encrypted passwords" mean in this context?

I can get the short "unix crypt" passwords to work, but not 
something longer like MD5 - either "raw" or as in the gnu/linux
/etc/shadow file.

Thanks for any hints!

Hello Mickey -

You can only use encrypted passwords in the database if you are using PAP authentication. Conversely, you can only use CHAP authentication with plain-text passwords in the database.
