(RADIATOR) CHAP and PAP

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello again Mike -

We have just been discussing this again here and I don't think my  
suggestion will work, unfortunately.

The alternative therefore is to add "{crypt}" prefixes to your  
existing passwords, except for those plaintext passwords which can  
either have "{clear}" prefixes or be left as cleartext.

Apologies for any confusion.

regards

Hugh
