I was just saying that their are advantages and disadvantages to using
either CHAP or PAP with the radius. With current radius if you use PAP
then you can go off the password file but if you use CHAP then you need a
line in your users file for every person that wants to dialin. Again, I am
not claiming to be an expert so if I am wrong let me know. Thanks..bye
