(RADIATOR) Authenticating PPTP against LDAP crypt passwords?

We are testing Radiator and are hoping to get
around a PPTP/LDAP issue.  I'm hoping someone can
give us a little help.

Our LDAP server users crypt passwords.  The unix gurus don't want to 
support alternate passwords.

I realize PPTP uses MS-CHAP which fail if directly used against crypt 
passwords.

I was hoping Radiator was smart enought to detect and handle the 
password hash differences and handle but
I assume that's a stretch.

Has anyone used some kind of preauthenticate handler to support this 
requirement using
the Radius::Rcrypt::decrypt() function as mentioned in the manual.

Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks in advance
John McFadden
