I'm working with my new TotalControl revisions, and I have a question about
CHAP in RadiusNT:

In the manual it states -=20
=B7 Will RadiusNT use clear text for authenticating or does it require=
PAP
or CHAP?

RadiusNT supports both PAP (clear text) and CHAP. However, if you will be
using a user list which contains encrypted passwords (WindowsNT SAM, UNIX
passwd file, or encrypted passwords in a database) only PAP authentication=
will
work since RadiusNT must have the password in clear text in these cases.

I'm running RadiusNT in ODBC mode, clear text passwords. Can I run Chap
authentication or not? Maybe I'm not reading the manual right. The problem
I'm noticing is that in Radlogs I'm getting *chap* all the time.

Any ideas?
